Live in Te Puke. Did live in the Mount for years. All my mates are surfers and I know most of the MBR crew.
Was Baz Watkins Tup's son? My uncle married a Watkins...sure there will be a link there. All good.

I only knew Baz and his Bro Craig and that was some 30 years ago

El borracho - what shutter speed to catch the surf like that? And what iso?

Do you have to bump your iso up alot when increasing shutter speed?

which image ? Shooting in water generally iso 100-200 shoot in the water alot on auto and adjust later on PC especially good if shooting in raw.Land base shots depending on light one needs to adjust accordingly- my land base set up was a nikon 600f4
