Still busy, so I upload something that is not so fresh.
The late winter conditions usually mean a lot of snow in our region. Open spaces may look like snow waves. And you should just wait a bit for the sunlight to see how it goes surfing...
Thank you for all the comments and faves, my friends.
A windy, windy day in Kansas. An American avocet walks through the surf on the Big Salt Marsh at Quivira National Wildlife Refuge in Stafford County, KS.

Nothing like hanging out watching the surf at the end of the day. I was immediately taken with Iceland after my first day of photography.
I think the first time I took a picture of a surf scoter it was just a tiny speck floating on a distant wave.

Ever felt like you needed a whole planet just for surfing? ...Don't bother denying it, we all know you did!
A fun little build from a while ago! C&C welcome as always!
A shot from a week away in sunny, Tenerife. The conditions were good for the surfers on the Costa Adeje.
I didn't have the ideal lens for this shot owing to weight restrictions with cabin baggage. I had to get as close as I could on the rocks and rely on a good crop factor.
The young rider's name is Sutton. This shot of him catching air off the lip of a wave would be a fun capture whatever time of day I'd taken it, but the sunset light and colors raises it to the next level for me.
The weather is changing from hot and dry to cool and wet. These clouds came surfing in this morning. The image is enhanced to better define the shape of the clouds.
In July 1885, three teenage Hawaiian princes took a break from their boarding school, St. Mathew's Hall in San Mateo, and came to cool off in Santa Cruz, California. There, David Kawānanakoa, Edward Keliʻiahonui and Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole surfed the mouth of the San Lorenzo River on custom-shaped redwood boards, according to surf historians Kim Stoner and Geoff Dunn. In 1890, the pioneer in agricultural education John Wrightson reputedly became the first British surfer when instructed by two Hawaiian students at his college.
George Freeth (1883–1919) is often credited as being the "Father of Modern Surfing". He is thought to have been the first modern surfer.
In 1907, the eclectic interests of the land baron Henry E. Huntington brought surfing to the California coast. While on vacation, Huntington had seen Hawaiian boys surfing the island waves. Looking for a way to entice visitors to the area of Redondo Beach, where he had heavily invested in real estate, he hired a young Hawaiian to ride surfboards. George Freeth decided to revive the art of surfing, but had little success with the huge 500 cm (16 ft) hardwood boards that were popular at that time. When he cut them in half to make them more manageable, he created the original "Long board", which made him the talk of the islands. To the delight of visitors, Freeth exhibited his surfing skills twice a day in front of the Hotel Redondo. Another native Hawaiian, Duke Kahanamoku, spread surfing to both the U.S. and Australia, riding the waves after displaying the swimming prowess that won him Olympic gold medals in 1912 and 1920.
In 1975, a professional tour started. That year Margo Oberg became the first female professional surfer.
From the balmy shores of San Diego to the chilly waters of Northern California, the Golden State’s coastline offers the allure of perfect waves for every type of surfer. In August 2018, the state assembly voted overwhelmingly to enshrine surfing as California’s official sport. A new holiday was even created to commemorate the cowabunga-inspired moment—September 20 is California Surfing Day.
Il trio ARSELLE che ci ha fatto surfare sulla terrazza del Raindogs House, che trovandosi al porto di Savona non è lontano dal mare ;-)
Qui un mio video della serata:
Il famoso pezzo che Dick Dale & The Del-Tones portarono al successo nel 1960 (era in origine un brano musicale folkloristico greco !).

More from the surfing series taken at Sorrento Beach. Because the surf breaks along the seawall it is possible to get very close to the surfing action whilst sitting on the sea wall.
We had a quick break in the Canary Islands and we spent some time watching the students learn to surf. It was an amazing thing to see from zero to actually ride a wave.
Thank you all for your appreciation.
