Surfdog Surfing Photos
Unless you are a pro surfer or at least, an extremely accomplished surfer, then collecting photos of yourself surfing can be a daunting task.
Admittedly, some of the few pictures I had collected were lost during Hurricane Iniki.
But to be able to get good photos of yourself while surfing, you need at least 3 things.
1. Someone on the beach with decent equipment, who knows when to push the button.
2. Waves, there should be waves and then its a good day for surfing.
3. It would really help if you were having a good day in the surf during your session.
To have all 3 things come together at the same time happens very infrequently. At least from my experience.

Hideaways circa 1990.
This picture saved after Hurricane Iniki was thought to be damaged beyond repair.
I peeled it from under the soaked glass desktop and allowed it to dry.
Recently it turned up during a nostalgia trip through our old photos.
I scanned and Photoshopped a few spots and made it 1/2 way presentable.

The grainy ones seen below are actually video captures made before digital cameras came to the forefront.
Others from the old days are either scans of old photos or shot with a video camera and then captured as a file.
These 4 below were shot on video and painstakingly captured and converted to JPG files in late 1995.
To see the actual video clip some of these shots were taken from click the YouTube link.
