This was shot from my station on the pontoon boat near the course. Many of the images have the beach in the background with the inherent clutter. This is one where the athlete was sufficiently close that the background was nicely blurred. It didn't always work out that way and on many shots the athlete blended into the background too much.

Malibu Open 4
This is from the wakeboarding event on Day 1 of the Malibu Open. Dallas Friday, a Malibu Team rider, showing her style as she gets airborne. I took the photo while stationed on a pontoon boat outside the course.
The wakeboarding event was difficult for photographers because of heavy overcast skies. There was even some light rain for the Day 2 wakeboarding. We could not get well-lit shots with good contrast. High ISO settings and slow focusing.

Lake Freighter
This was taken yesterday morning on Lake St. Clair, Michigan. The freighter Robert S. Pierson was downbound from the St. Clair River approaching the Lake St. Clair light. The city of Detroit is beyond the light but is not visible.
The breeze was light and variable with clear air. It is difficult to take photos from a small boat in choppy water so this was perfect. I was hoping for some upbound ship traffic heading into the low, morning sun but but no luck.
