It's all about the ride

It's all about the ride, a photo by Tony DeSantis Photography on Flickr.

This is the last in the series of Memorial Day Surfer photo's from the Huntington Beach pier. This is one of the simplest but like the first in the series I think it is one of my favorites. I like the idea of the older surfer on the long board just out there riding with the young bucks whom are cutting up the waves. This is surfing in its simplest and purest form.

This has the same processing as the last 3.
