Thurso is hosting an international surf event, the O`neill Highland Open at the moment, with the creme de` la creme of the international surfer elite attending.
After some surfing at Brims Ness because there was no propper surf in Thurso (sort of pancake flattness that only happens once a year) the contest finally made back to town with some whopping waves going on at Thurso East.
I contacted a fello photo buddy and off we went. After some long huha, I finally convinced him not to be a chicken and to go out on the rocks to get some good photo shots done. We braved the slippery seabed and kelp covered rocks and got a good view point not too far from the shore.
I was lucky enough to see the reigning word champion, Sunny Garcia from Hawaii and some other top surfers. Here are the fruits of my brave effort featuring Sunny Garcia, Michel Bourez, Adam Melling and Renato Galvao.
Next year I will be back with some wellingtons though....:-)
