   [ edited in this note to anyone reading this below comment: originally he titled this "Swami's Dec 5" but I made the below comment that it was Blacks not Swamis and then he changed the title.]

   This is not Swami's, it is BLACKS beach. Take a close look and you will see what I mean. I'm not surprised no one noticed this. But I am a major fan of your Dec 5 photos so I recognized your little error in the title right away. In the other photo that board must be in the tube because there is no sign of it.

   This photo is actually my total fav from your blacks beach photos from that day. This one should be in a magazine or on a poster. I think this photo is marketable. I adore this one. I'm almost postive that this is about a half second before that other photo like this one you loaded on about December 5th or 6th. But this one is definitely better because there is that one guy who does an 'abandon ship and dive' manuever because he didn't even have a chance of duck diving it.

   Do you have more in this series of shots of this exact wave? I'd like to see them. I remember you went here first briefly at sunrise and then you ran over to swamis right after that.

    One more thing, I would really love to see a fuller size of this exact photo, it seems you have cropped it some, I do that too sometimes, but on flickr I don't know if that kind of long crop makes a difference, you might as well show it all because it doesn't make it larger, I hope that makes sense. Like there was a bird and some other surfers in the foreground adding a little more interest that I think you cut out on this one.

    I am so glad that you were there at Blacks to capture this at sunrise, and that you share all these on flickr, I'm soooo glad. I thought of going to blacks that morning but I decided to go to Swami's. You are such an early bird you were able to do both, good for you. I absolutely love your Blacks photos they are very, very special.
