This is a True Story....
Do you ever take pictures in the water using those semi-water-proof intstamatic
cameras? They work well..the only problem is that you need to get real close to
get a great shot. BUT...do not get to close;
I was approaching the 'photographer' from the leeward side, on a port reach. I
was FULLY powered with a 14" blade fin on flat water...he was yelling for me to
get closer, closer, closer,..so I did..in fact I got so close that I clipped
the nose of his semi-submerged ASD board and severed the top 4 inches. Nice
clean cut. Like a hot butter through knife!!!
Any advise on repairs? Any advise on retributions?
Moral: Don't be Ham and ...
