Trying to catch up.
Sunday the waves finally came up, making the surfers happy. I spent an hour or so at Wilderness Beach photographing the surfers. It was fantastic.
The surfers' use of technology is interesting. There are web sources that predict the swell size and direction. Surfers then decided which beach is likely to have the best conditions and head there. They constantly check their Blackberries for the latest conditions.
Some of these guys are hardcore. The two guys who spent Saturday evening at Ola Lolas had to leave by noon to catch a late afternoon flight back to Florida. They were at Wilderness at first light (about 6:30 am) so they could get at least four hours of surfing in before they left.
There are a few more photos at www.flickr.com/photos/ola-lolas.
Enjoy!
