Boogie Boarders riding big waves on Oahu's North Shore

  

Some of these guys give the impression that they know what they're doing! Though in this case, he doesn't seem too sure if he wants to be a boogie boarder lying down on his board, or a surfer standing on his board.

The boogie boarders even have a few tricks up their sleeves which the surfers can't do.

 

As usual, some rise above the rest.   We'll call this guy Flip...

 

Flip loves rushing down the face of a monster (might I even say "gnarly"?) wave, especially when it starts crashing down behind him...

...and when things start to look a bit terminal, Flip knows that this could be the end of a beautiful ride...

 

...or, if he plays his cards right...

 

...the start of a new one!
