Black and Blue

This is a collection from my shore break pictures. When I am taking shore break pictures I have to be very careful because I am standing in about 2 feet of water with the shore break towering as high as 12 feet over my head. I have to be extremely cautious not to stay in the barrel of the wave for too long or else it will pick me up and slam me into the compacted sand below. On this day, that is exactly what happened. I overstayed my welcome and did not retreat into the wave in time. I was picked up and slammed into the beach several times over and over again. Once I finally regained myself I retreated to the beach. The next day I was black and blue with bruises all over and thankfully no broken bones. That is why I edited this wave in black and blue because that's how she left me.
