 A walk on the beach with my wife, our puppy Ruby and my Nikon Z8 with the 180-600mm on a breezy day resulted in a surprise visit by the wing surfer. It was a pretty clear day and as soon as I saw the surfer slide in front of the windmills just at the horizon I knew I would have an entry for this challenge.

Lovely wind and breeze, the additional plus is the wind wheels in the background.

That's the kind of shot I also wanted to take, but there were absolutely no wind and no windsurfers in San Diego )). Congrats on your ribbon!
