That is some sick riding, and even better shots. Very Well done all around.

DPC,

I can do the same thing (only because I saw his lead) with $600 worth of Canon 550EX’s, they high speed sync, have good output and are older generation so are comparatively cheap but have all the functionality of the newest units, you can use a 15m ETTL cord to trigger the first flash as a commander, this will trigger all the others so no need for Radio Poppers either. Not quite the same, but very usable, and most people have a couple of on brand speedlites. Haven’t found a battery work around yet though!

siCk!

@scott – Nice find with the Dave Black site! A LOT of good information and tutorials in his “Workshop at the Ranch” section. Wish the site layout was little more modern, but I guess content is king!

8 x SB900′s = almost $4k.. not to mention having to deal with 32+ AA batteries. :-O

Surf shooting can be done from land with speedlights. Dave Black does it here http://www.daveblackphotography.com/workshop/06-2010.htm with a four square and high speed sync. In fact he does some very impressive sports shooting with multiple small flashes, high sync and ganging.

The wave pool in Orlando is Disney’s Typhoon lagoon. It’s one of the two Disney water parks.

First of all that kid a beast at boarding! Great idea and almost perfect I think, but there is certainly some underexposure problems on the front of him. Maybe next time.

This is pretty awesome…I love the ocean, but the lighting and the color of the wave pool is fun.
