Oh What a Glarious Day

Published by admin at 11:37 pm under Uncategorized

Yes you read it right, it does say Glare ious owing to the fact that the sun on the south coast is still so low in the sky that it makes shooting somewhere small like Perranuthnoe almost impossible as you can’t get out of the glare.. well that is unless you go up top alonmg the cliffs and shoot from the right hand side of the waves.. BUT I didn’t realise that until it was almost too low light anyhow to shoot.. and so again I make my apology for the messy images at the start of the galleries due to glare and distance..

I got the call from SD to say it was on so we headed down mazza at Lunch time and i shot a few pics of them cropping the reeds on the marsh and the Bittern took a long flight over the back.. then we wandered up to Perran around 2pm and as soon as I got there and down on the beach I knew it was going to be a pain..

Nice Little Barrel

Was surprised this wasn't just a silhouette with the glare in front

Nice unridden wave

I broke for a cuppa and to checvk out if anyone was going to be turning up, at which point the Great Lord Hog arrived which meant all would follow

Dave ( Surf Hog ) Barnwell

And so the guys turned up got changed and went in and here’s a few of the results where I managed to get through the glare…

Team Shore Surf

Lawrence making a coupleof Nice right handers

Leesie Punching round the white water section

and so another phase to the surfing world with Inflatable Boogie Boards.. whatever next flat wood with no fins? Alaeia bet on it full circle lol

Inflatable fun

and here’s the hog dodging head high whitewater close outs in between surfing stand up barrels (thats the £5 earned)

The Artful Dodger

And while the sun was setting Low with a nice Golden Hue, the Hog made his way in while Jessica arrived to get in .. ah well no glamour today I’m afraid..
