Special thanks again to Rick G. for letting me use his camera.  Cheers!

I was trying to get a picture from inside the tube, but this was my first outing with a water camera so I found it to be a bit harder than I expected.  While I personally got barreled a few times, I didn’t capture the images to prove it.  I’ll give it a shot again tomorrow if the waves cooperate.

Here my 1st attempt at a tube shot plus another couple pictures of waves from the opposite perspective.
