 My first challenge entry with the new lens.

The event is called Thundercat Racing. These boats can run in incredibly shallow water & when they hit a wave, they go skyward.

Some outtakes...

Hope you enjoy the Bigma! It's a fun lens if you're willing to lug the beast. I've got the unstablized version, but still manage to take handheld shots at times.
I think I like
Reason being, I enjoy how the copilot is sprawled out. Same goes for this one

Hadn't ever heard of this type of racing though- good shots.

Great action shot, the fast shutter speed has frozen the action
