Surf Boat races
Following my previous images, more on the Surf Boat races held at our local beach due to wild weather at the site originally planned. The races consist of rowing out to and around offshore buoys, then heading back to shore - catching and surfing a good wave being an important part of the process. My first PiP shows a boat (fourth in) "getting it wrong" while surfing, luckily being able to regain control (second PiP) and the final PiP shows a boat surfing a wave well.
By way of background information, Surf Boats were developed in the early 20th century by Australian surf life saving clubs, to rescue endangered beach swimmers. The surf life saving clubs then began having competitions with them. The beach safety role now has been taken by jet skis and zodiacs, but Surf Boat competitions remain very popular in Australia and New Zealand.
I've been busy with "home duties" lately, which has kept me from ipernity, but I'm very glad to say that Pauline's condition has improved over the time since she returned home (maybe too early) from hospital.
