The Art of Surfing

Surf Art Photography

To answer the question - What is "Surf Art"? - I love this quote by David Bogart - "Save the fancy theories and big words for the art appreciation class. Surf art is simply art focused on the act of surfing. In my mind, if you can look at the work and it makes you want to paddle out, it's surf art, period. If you're stoked, the surf artist has successfully done his job."


These three impressionist photographs of surfers were taken along the coast of Virginia Beach and later manipulated to look like impressionist paintings on canvas.  They are part of my Coastal Color Collection, fine art photographs of beach activities captured around my city and available here.

Paddle out and stay stoked.

Morning Surf

Katia is letting herself be known to the surfers here on the coast of Virginia!

A swell morning
  I have a feeling many students were a little bit tardy today!
 
And perhaps a few business men!

Including my husband!
It's not too often we see surf as good as this ~ so all should be allowed to enjoy this gift from Katia!  Life is short...enjoy!!
