Doesn't do it for me, no feel of movement, could be hanging from a tree and there's a halo round his wetsuit emoticon Sorry but having tried these guys myself I know hoe difficult they are to make a piccy of. need to catch a big wake just before they take off i think.

I know what you mean, Bill - but these guys are so darn cool that even when they are hanging on for grim death they maintain that appearance of 'oh so casual', making it look easy-peasy. The guy (below) has spotted me taking photos earlier and when he came past me on this run made sure he was facing the camera and casually waved. Even though there is quite a good wake from his board, his casual stance does tend to bely the effort and movement/speed involved.

I like that much better, the wake makes the difference.
