Another Pipe Pic

I know I just posted a photo of the Banzai Pipeline on Wednesday, but had to share one more from today.  The waves were gorgeous, and while I have "better" photos, I chose this one for two reasons:  1)  I think it shows the how incredibly powerful this wall of water is, and 2) the surfer pictured is amazing.  He stood up from this position, got inside the barrel of the wave, and rode all the way out of it.

  1. Really nice photo Lisa. Yep this one shows the power of the sea. Surfing is not really a pastime here in Yorkshire, I think we get the waves but the sea would be pretty cold for much of the year.

  4. Super photo! A seaside resort not too far from us called Boscombe has tried to create an artifical reef to get a similar effect - it hasn't worked! Sometimes you just can't replicate nature!

  5. Thank you! I agree, can't replicate nature. I could sit there for hours watching these waves roll in.
