Father and son surf lesson in Morro Bay, CA. Father is Ben Monmonier, son is Julian Boqha Monmonier. I like this wholesome spouse and children-oriented series of 12 images of a father and his son bonding during a surf lesson. They had a great time, and the little grom Julian took the new surf name Boqha to commemorate this action in his life. Boqha has great form and is a healthy.

Not sure if anyone from Toyota contacted you – I certainly was not – but I just found my photo and yours used on their new web campaign for the 4Runner.
http://www.toyota.com/vehicles/minisite/4Runner/ – then click the Surfing tab
Update:
There are apparently two separate 4Runner sites and Toyota has removed the Flickr photos from http://www.toyota.com/vehicles/minisite/4Runner/ but not from http://www.toyota.com/new4runner/
I never cared much for surfing until now. Such a powerful photo it appears to be a self portrait. Up close and personal.
Wow!!! Such focus and contration on his face. This is awesome.
Wow, what a great shot!
Brilliant timming
Your photography is brilliant! Im an amateur artist looking for some reference photos to help me with an arts project, would it be possible to use a couple of your surfing shots to help me out, I like the one here best, as its got lots of detail. all the best. Jan
janet_farthing Thanks for asking about using my photos for your art. http://www.flickr.com/people/mikebaird/#credit answers every question ever asked about using my photos with attribution and link backs where applicable, adding use comments, etc. There is a sub-paragraph there for artists, and for using people images w/o model releases (i.e., can’t be used in advertising, etc.). Hope that answers all -if not, please do get back.

Wow, fantastic shot. Knowing my luck the lens would fall from the monopod and take the camera with it! Awesome!

Another fantastic image. Thanks for posting the tutorial.
Hola, soy el administrador de un grupo llamado Surf Spain y nos encantaría agregar tu foto al grupo.
superb !!!!
And people say the 5D can’t do sports
Excellent shot!
Excellent composition in the capture Mike. The crop is a bit tight, but it speaks volumes.
kevincole Ya Kevin, ’cause I was using the fixed focal length 300mm lens here they filled the frame – this is uncropped (except maybe for a tiny horizon straighten). You know me, I’m obsessed with getting close in detail shots! I thought they made a good study, and there was little other action in the area today. I had seen them practice yesterday, and I took some long-distance shots from the parking lot but they were not any good.
this is a cool series. and it looks like Julian is pretty confident in the water !
Wonderful series of photos…
I saw this photo in the Groms group.
nice! this would be a great submission in the savvy daddy photography competition:

Hm..I was under the impression that iStock only needed model releases for photos of identifiable human faces. Very nice picture though.
Sunoi Waya, iStockphoto is very strict – in addition to stated policy, if the subjects in the image could recognize themselves based on location, dress, form, then they will require model releases also.
