1st - This moment of camaraderie stood out to us, and shows some insight into a non-typical sport for the category.
2nd - This looks like a frightening moment for the body surfer.
3rd - A peak action moment. We felt for the photographer who might have made a stronger image if they chanced to be in the opposite position.
Alt. - Another image where the photographer was ready to capture the moment, but could have been positioned better.
