awesome job.. well done. Makes me want to enter next year to get some serious pics. Hope you are selling privately these and make a bundle.

How did the judges score number 41? Head stand on sail in the white water.

Great stuff yet again Col

Great stuff & so sharp! So the break is out a bit from the beach?

Ozpricey, The 7d is soft, not too bad with premium lenses but most lenses don't look too good on it - great for video though. Most people probably couldn't tell the difference but once you've seen hi-res images from a 1d you can't go back! By the way, I never used a gyro on the nationals video - hired one but it mulfunctioned during the night so all footage was handheld, would have been quite a bit better if the gyro was working though.
I've now ordered a nice brand new one from the U.S. so won't have to worry about that problem happening again and can have it with me more often.

Graceman, I only use the 7d for video, the stills out of the 7d just aren't up to scratch so all my stills are done on the 1D MKIIn.

NR, Jodie (Whitecaps) has the same headstand photo but taken from the land.

Thank's for that Elmo, look's like you noticed these images are subject to copyright

copy-what?!?

great photos col, very impressive.

did you use the 24mm for the stills?
