Real weather
Weather!
You ain't seen weather until you have lived through a few cyclones (tornado or hurricane if you live elsewhere along the Tropics).
Normally, sane people head for the cyclone shelter, but the marginally insane photographer, desperate surfers hanging out for a wave, or a few kids who told their parents they were going to school will all head out to play.

No, sorry, image 3 for me. Fantastic use of light and not a bit of creamy water in sight. I am so envious.

I'm seeing something akin to scratch marks or banding across the last image. Have you noticed this?

Mind you, we surfers to get desperate here. I have been known to paddle out when no-one is looking.
