A storm front moved through the Gulf of Georgia this last week. It rocked Vancouver Island with heavy rains and then afterwards strong winds. And this always brings out the Windsurfers. I checked out the webcam http://www.bigwavedave.ca/webcams.php?cam=2
for Columbia Beach just outside of Parksville and saw the action had already started! Here are some of my shots. Comments always welcome. All images shot with my 7D and a Bigma.

    In #1 I think the impact of the subject is diminished with the oof surfers

    WOW #2 is outstanding and the expression on the guys face in the last shot is priceless.

    Thanks everyone! It was a fun day of photography and the kitesurfers and windsurfers are a real hoot (thats Canadian eh!) to hang out with. I will probably check out www.bigwavedave.ca more often now.
