The 2011 Varsity College Surfski series was another cracker…..great racing was had by all the only thing that let me down on most occasions was the weather! It just seems I was cursed by Mother Nature every Friday as we would have a cracker of a week weather-wise (blue skies and sunshine) but come Friday, the SW would blow in all sorts of rubbish dropping the light dramatically to the point where the last paddlers were finishing in the dark! Testing the cameras low light ability came to the fore, going to ISO levels of 2500 just to get enough light to get a decent shutter speed. But all in all, the awesome cloud formations we had, and light off the clouds on some nights, provided for some great photography, and great action.

On most occasions we had nice surf, although one or two Friday’s the NE cracked it’s whip and caused chaos amongst the paddlers! Unfortunately most of the days the seas were too choppy for me to jump on the rubber ducks to shoot, and I chose to shoot more in the surf when the paddlers went out and came back in….

Great series, so enjoy the shots!
