Surf portrait

The fine art of one handed surfing - strong seas, a good following wind and a burning need to get that 'extra' shot. The sea was magnificent all day ending in a vast refracting bay where it was possible to refine refraction surfing - the perfect line through a mess of waves and troughs as the sun set. Strong deep strokes, straining at the limit of my abilities, leaning far forward, feet and thighs braced against the inside of the cockpit - wow, sounds like I was giving birth... The surfing was truly magnificent.
