Love your work TB. That floating in space shot is magnificent in amongst the many other amazing pics there.

Hard to decide which is the more mutant wave, Shippies or the Right? They're both bum puckeringly awe inspiring. And Chopes, is there a more beautiful but scary wave in the world?

Bless you mother nature.

agree, after seeing all this power and glory, 'Floating in Space' is special.

Best photos ever! 3 questions - Did the floatee intend to be in that position?
Is Keala K still with us? Is Mark M doing a JO'B at Shippies? Scary stuff.
