Day 45: Surf Competition Setup

Practicing for the competition

The first day of the Surf Competition turned out to be a practice day. After breakfast at Panino's I sat on the beach learning to use my new telephoto lens as the surfers practiced for the main events starting tomorrow.

The beach was crowded from one end to the other, and they were busy constructing a large stage for live music tomorrow.

I am reading The Wave by Susan Casey, and I found I was hooked from the first page. Far better than I expected, she has a fantastic ability to draw you in and paint a picture of the search for these giant waves.
