Love it - I tried the same thing with jet ski's - problem was that these guys were playing in waves and we all know about the shark invested waters of the Kwazulu Natal Coast.
LOL - shame - poor guy. In my last cricket game; the same happened to my bat and as I stood watching the top half flying I thought to myself what a cool photo that would've been.
OK, here is one of the action shots from that day.
I like it - WOW - sommer makes me want to face the sharks and try and get these kinda shots...
Actually, this was shot between Christmas and New Year's. Coincidentially, however, there is a known shark breeding area only about 200 yards from where I was standing. It's about 50 yards off that wall in the picture and just out of the picture.
I know, because one swam directly in front of me about 12 years ago when I was swimming out to a sandbar! When I told some friends about it, they laughed and told me about the breeding area there.
Here is a rugby shot of some guys in Granada in the Carribean. This was taken about 6 weeks after Hurrican Ivan tore through there. I also got some amazing shots of that church on the hill with the roof ripped off.
