Summary

Description

As a kid I had a skateboard called "The Sidewalk Surfboard" but I'm pretty sure it couldn't do this.

Niccy and I took another long weekend over to the Point Loma Annex where I was lucky enough to get this shot!

Had to GTS to figure out what this is called. It's a Hydrofoil Surfboard and uses an underwater wing to provide the lift, much like an airplane does. For a somewhat technical explanation you can read more here: www.surfertoday.com/surfing/how-does-a-hydrofoil-surfboar...

Looked like the guy was enjoying himself and there was plenty of staring and pointing as he zipped by!

PS:

For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR. For some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used!
