Surf's UP!! (summer photo challenge -day 1)

And boy, was it ever!  I've never seen anything like it.  Rip tides were pretty strong, unbeknownst to me until I saw the lifeguards helping out my boys, not once, not twice but THREE times.  Then at one point,  all dozen or so of the beach patrol lifeguards headed into the surf and did a massive retrieve of all swimmers.   After that, no one was allowed to go in past their ankles. I did however capture a few shots before the craziness ensued. 

Here's a series of shots where Two is waiting to catch the wave, Dude... (One is in the bottom right of the pic--)

When he saw this picture, Two said that he actually didn't see the large part of the wave comin' up right behind him..

Until here...

Just about now, he started thinkin'   "AAAAAHHHHH!" (direct quote, by the way.)

And..."Whoa!!!" (again, direct quote.  That's me... I'm all about accuracy here, folks.)

No direct quotes for this one.  Two just said he was focusing on not drowning at this point.  Wait, is that a quote?--ah well, I guess it is.  It's just not a 'direct quote'.  Yep, I'm all about grammar too.  (Did you hear that thud?  That was my MIL hitting the floor after reading that statement.  She reeeallly digs my grammer, oh, and my spelling too.)
