I shoot everything hand held, prefer to work that way. I might be a little pissed off when the next wave comes in and takes out my tripod, camera, and leaves me holding the remote.

I hear what your saying though. I do use a monopod on occasion.

It happens

Could you please stop attaching images like this to your posts!

ya cd, where do you get all these gorgeous women

The one taking the brunt of the wave would be my wife (good sport..huh!! hehe!!) and others I have found shopping at your local Model Mayhem store

. There everywhere in Florida, just have to find the ones that are interested in being in front of the camera.
