Clearwater SBI Natl Championship - P H O T O S
 

Let's go to the races!

It was a beautiful day in Clearwater.
Love this beach, and the calm water brought out a nice spectator fleet.

Once again, gotta give big shout of thanks to my buds over at Statement.

LARGE GREEN FLAG

One of my favorite things about Clearwater is the light.
The geography of that beach in the fall really works for me.

I was shooting from the north turn, here's the view looking south.
Older crowd up at that end, more locals I think.
Two different people stopped to talk and mentioned they remembered me from last year. :D

Here's a fun one... starting with the full frame crop of arrival of Stihl and Statement pace boat...
and then to the action and a close up that shows a cool viewing platform for some of the peanut gallery. :D

We did there 2 years ago, like you said it was great for that event. We did the hilton on the beach this year and while it was nice and fun I am not sure I will do it there again.

Glad to hear you had a good time!
