One of my all time favorite photography-for-fun outings is going to the US Open of Surfing that's held every July in Huntington Beach. I managed to get there around 6:30am and find plenty of free parking, which is nice as by early morning the place is positively packed. This was the first time shooting any sports with my 40D. While squeezing the shutter and firing off 6 frames each second is fun, I made an effort to shoot single frames at the peak of the action. I still managed to fill up 8 gigs worth of CF cards in a few hours and called it a day before I got too scorched.
Local HB'er Brett Simpson was the crowd favorite, made it all the way to the semi finals but Tim Boal managed to just squeak by 12.0 to 11.93.
The final heat had Tim Boal and Nathaniel Curran with Curran pulling off the win.
