Mika's First Surfing Pictures

Below are some scanned photos of my first pictures of Mika surfing, on the beach near Ocean Park Avenue, Santa Monica, California, 8 August 1999. The first four photos are of a single ride, four photos in sequence, where Mika starts outside and surfs all the way to the beach, past where I am standing in the water with my cheapo waterproof camera.
