Capturing Great Surfing Moments

Surfing is undeniably a beautiful sport. With a surfer gracefully slicing the huge wave and making his way successfully out of it is a big splendour in itself! Aside from that, there are many other spectacles that leave every surfer and everyone in the audience in great awe. With this wonderful surfing scene, a person should equip himself with tools that would allow him to capture every magnificent sight that Mother Nature lets her inhabitants enjoy.

When you are out surfing, you should never miss out on bringing your camera and video recorder, or just a camcorder! When you decide to bring a camera, make sure that it is designed to perfectly capture moving objects. If you can afford one, invest in a digital camera with a high shutter speed, which you can adjust according to the effect you want to achieve on your subject. If you are shooting from a long distance, you should also bring a good lens that will allow you to take pictures brilliantly and clearly despite the distance. With your lens, you will be able to get a stunning and blur-free photograph. Also, if you want to catch every surfing drama up close, you should get a waterproof camera that would not get damaged every single time you use it in the water. You have to be careful though because there is a particular depth where your camera can withstand water.

Aside from capturing exceptional surfing moments with a digital camera, you can also use a video camera. With a video camera, you can document the entire event, allowing you not to miss every magical and breathtaking surfing moment. Remember, when you have to bring your gadgets to a surfing event, be very vigilant of opportunists who might take your beloved devices away.

– European Final in Zarautz, on July 30th and 31st
– World Final to be held during the Quiksilver Pro France from September 25 to October 5

The Quiksilver King of the Groms is the major worldwide tour for surfers in the U16 category. The leading competition for elite young surfers from around the world for over 20 years, the event remains a veritable rite of passage for budding talents hoping to embark upon a professional career. Jérémy Florès (Fra), Aritz Aranburu (Euk), Taj Burrow (Aus) or Miky Picon (Fra) all came to prominence in this contest. More recently, Reunion's Maxime Huscenot, who became ASP Junior World Champion 2010 in Narabeen, and Brazil's Gabriel Medina who took the ISA World Champion title in January, both achieved their first successes on the international stage at the King of the Groms, before going on to hugely promising pro careers.

Selected in some 20 countries on every continent throughout the spring of 2010, the current 18 best young surfers around will come together next September in south-west France, during the Quiksilver Pro France 2010 (the only French leg of the ASP World Tour), to compete in the International Final of the King of the Groms, in the same conditions as the world's top senior male surfers.

As a prelude to the International Final, the European tour consisting of 14 stages will have its very own final, to be held in Zarautz on the Basque Coast in early August, where two European surfers will be selected to go through to the Final of the King of The Groms 2010. The European Series will kick off in May in the French Antilles and Canaries, and will continue across the continent through June and July (see schedule here). For the first time Morocco enters the euro series.
