Big Wave Surfing

Surfing the Big Ones in Southern CA -- December 2005

Waves this large are very unusual for So. CA. Only the most skilled surfers attempted to ride them, while thousands watched from the shore.

Hi JC here! Thanks for coming on my Sons site. Brian!
You have a great gallery here. I have a friend that lived in Miami all his life. He is Chiropractor. He just retired and moved to Melbourne Beach. He has been surfing all he life. He moved from Biscayne Bay where he did live. He lived across from Harbor Island just north of 79th street Bridge. If you are every at Melbourne Beach look him up. Dr William Seplow. He is a great surfer. He has a few long boards and a few short boards to. He said when he goes out with the old long board everyone moves over. (Ha-Ha) Like I said you have a great Gallery. I give you a vote. I will be back.

The waves are great. I loved the pictures. They should be postcards.

GREAT gallery with so many wonderful shots! I especially love the way you captured some of them jostling for position...perhaps a few of them should have stayed on the shore until the waves got a bit smaller?
