Shoreline at Puamana, the south end of Lahaina.

Little swell rolling in. Great day to be a paddleboarder, despite a bit of brown water from recent torrential rains.

This surfer found his own little spot with no other surfers. That's a surfer's dream because just so many can get on a single wave. He could ride it all the way in and not have too far to paddle out to catch the next one. He has on a spring suit, short sleeves and shorts instead of the full body wet suit, which means the water was pretty warm.

There's a paddle boarder out there who seemed to be going down the coast, not riding waves.

Lovely young lady getting ready to set out on what was evidently her maiden voyage as a paddleboarder.

At highest tides, the bay (Morro Bay) rises and water flows upstream to flood the creek just inside the South Bay Blvd. bridge, which is just to the right and up the bank.

It was so hot that even the SUPers (stand-up paddleboarders) took to the river in a more restful recline. The normally chilly Columbia River is bathtub warm, the current is still strong, but the winds are out of the West, so everything balances out. Hoist the Colors!

Sydney is home to some of the most amazing beaches you would find just kilometres from the city centre. Yarra Bay is an interesting beach, not the classic surf, sea and sand you would associate with the classic beaches like Tamarama or Curl Curl Beach. This beach combines view to the loading docks and the airport runways, and backs onto a graveyard. It's popular for a rather sedate beach, which is perfect for families with little waves barely passing ankle height. I shot this on film with the Contax 645 medium format film camera Fuji 160 NS film
