Lately, I’ve been going for a particular look off the end of Grubb’s dock. Still haven’t really gotten what I’m looking for (yet) but this shot of BT was close. Grubb rode first that evening, then BT. He obviously got the later, darker light…not really what I had planned but still stoked on the outcome of this shot. I had my flash’s buried and out of the wet zone when I caught BT doing this inside out trick off the lip behind the Sea Doo.

For me, wakeskating photos are tough to capture correctly because of the boards rotation or the displacement of the riders legs/feet. I can’t stand a wakeskate photo where you can’t comprehend how the board is rotating or the riders legs/feet are too close together, etc. May sound dumb, but that’s just how picky I am when looking at wakeskate photographs. It’s got to make visual sense to the average idiot.
