Went out with friends on the weekend to try some wakeboarding photo's.

All of these peoples are beginners so no critiquing there technique


Probably my favourite shot


In the process of wiping out

i think for the most part of wakeboarding, the only way really to get some awesome shots are if the rider is flying 10 feet in the air. nice action in the pictures though.

Kewl action Mushy

Like you, I really like the 2nd shot

So tell the truth, were you drinking beer and laughing your butt off while shooting these?... Some of the wipeouts must have been a blast to witness :uhoh

Hi Mushy
I shoot a lot of wakeboarding (in nice weather) which is not often in the UK
and its a really tough sport to get right, as they move so fast, I do it at a cable ski center from the shore, which is much harder than from a boat
and most of the shots posted here are not in focus, and would benefit from some cropping
heres a one of mine from Last summer

I especially like #4 with the shadow across the boarder's face. Good shots! :

Hi Gary
yep.. was a good day at the MotoX -- I will def be there again this coming summer, and the Jet Ski comps will also be getting attention, along with the Canoe stuff -- where did you shoot those on your website??

I fancy jetski, Chesterfield has a 14 year old World Jetski Champion Lee Stone, the canoe shots were at Holmepierpont Nation Watersport Centre
come off the M1 at jct 25 and follow the ringroad towards Nottingham and you will see the signs its about 10 mins from M1
