She started flowboarding right before her 6th birthday. Eight years later, her passion has grown and so has the size of the wave!
This is my daughter riding BMAX! Captured at the Wavehouse in San Diego!

Hi Donna, when I saw these thumbnails I thought wow, those are some excellent waves. Then I browsed through your photos and saw these were man made. I had not heard of this place although I knew there were others like it. What a great opportunity and delight to have this available to you and your daughter. Great action capture and composition! Enjoyed the others as well. #7550260Donna La Mattino Pagakis May 27, 2009
Thank you for your kind compliments Mike! I am truly blessed!Donna #7568169
