Exit

Leash just barely visible here??

Exit by konaboy.

We had some great waves over the weekend, and Manini was crowded with surfers I haven't met, including the one captured here. He had some good rides, but this exit got the most response from the onlookers at the beach.

Yes - welcome back and nice to see you again Pete. Your timing with this couldn't have been better. It captures all that is impending. It looks like he's managed to get out "Holy" so far while airborne. I like the skegs being visible. Happy New Year!

konaboy says:

Thanks for the warm welcome back, everyone! I really missed my Flickr family!

@Mark, yes this guy lived to catch more waves. In fact, he landed behind the wave and had a fairly easy time of it.

I love the facial expression. Nice Capture....did you clone out the leash or is the spray that thick?

i think you're not meant to get of your board like that ... maybe?
Posted 43 months ago. ( permalink )

konaboy says:

Thanks again, all, for the kind words and new year wishes!

@diglips, no, I didn't clone out the leash. I was also a bit surprised that it's not visible, but assume it's buried somewhere in that heavy spray.

[Edit] Actually as I look closer, I think I can see it...
