I have kept a written journal of all my surf sessions since early 1998.  Sometimes I take pictures also.
I'm proud of my pictures, but make no claims as a photographer - surfing always comes first for me.

From July 2005 I've been using the Pentax Optio WP.
 August 2004 to May 2005 I used the Sony DSC-U60.
Most water shots prior to August 2004 were taken with a Fuji waterproof disposable.
The shots from shore are taken with a Sony F717.
My advice about surfing with a camera

I appreciate your feedback and will usually answer questions pretty quickly.

Aloha, Bud

NOTE:
2004 I began posting Photos and Session Reports to the 'Surf Check' topic in the  MESSAGE BOARD  - a real time saver for me. The newest photos on static web pages listed on this index may not show up for several weeks or more.

Feel free to browse the forum for all the latest from me and the crew.
