FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
Recently while on vacation in Jacksonville, North Carolina visiting my son and his wife we decided to go to a vacation area in Wilmington, North Carolina where there are a lot of private beaches for the individuals renting beach homes for the summer. On the first day at the beach the waves were tall and were great for riding from surfer boards, body boards, or just body surfing. The waves would carry you right into shore and no problem getting back out to the deep waters. On the second day we went to Indian Beach we all went back in the water and I could notice something different immediately the waves were larger and they were curling under way before they carried you to the shore. Therefore, throwing a lot of riders head over heals as I know because I was one of them. After about a half hour of riding the waves I came in and was watching the other riders when I noticed not only were people getting thrown coming in but they were having problems getting back out as the waves curling were creating 4 to 5 foot breaker walls. I quickly grabbed my camera as I wanted to capture some of the action that was going on. I stood about knee high in the water figuring that would be safe. Next I saw this one individual come in rough and then go back out but have a problem breaking through. I started to feel the strong undertow that was beginning but was watching this one person who had just came in rough again. I had my camera set and just as I raised it with my dial set on action, the swimmer came up with the idea of diving over the 5 foot wave and I caught him in several frames just as got smashed from the side by a 5 foot wave coming in and I was not paying attention to what was happening in front of me only waiting to capture this rider either coming in on a wave or going through the air trying to get out. Got my photo and was lucky I did not ruin my camera.
