Wipeout



Most times surfers roll over the top of the wave to exit. However, every now and then someone crashes and burns in a spectacular way, arms flying, board winging through the air. This was one of those moments, actually one of a series of shots as the surfer fell, board flew up and came splashing down. It looked painful.

It was brutally hot today, with the mercury climbing up to around 105F. San Diegans were flocking to any place cool in droves. The malls, the movie theaters, the beach and in my case, the aquarium where all that cold dark water made for a nice comfy afternoon compliments of the Scripp's Aquarium. I popped by the pier afterwards to see if anyone did anything entertaining and was rewarded with that wipeout up above. Parking, however, was a nightmare with people circling round and round for blocks. The water was still a bit chilly but welcome on a day like today.
