Thanks for all your comments. The weeks holiday was the first real try out of my 70 - 200 f/2.8. I was a little concerned that it might not be easy to hand hold. In fact I found it ok despite me being a 9 stone (just) weakling!

Thanks Stephen. I really enjoyed the hour or so I spent watching and shooting them. But next time I will remember I also have a 1.4 converter in my bag

Seemed all agree itsa nice set, no 3 being the best, although no 2 is close behind you can see the he's travelling!
may I ask you how far away you were from the surfers???
