Pleased to announce:
That the Steem surf photo giveaway is back. Offline for a while whilst redressing personal work loads and commitments. It hasn't helped that both SBD and Steem have dropped in value. Plus now we are not getting any SBD payouts. Bonus is we get more rewards in Steem for our posts than before. Also where is everyone at the moment?
Anyways I have not forgotten this giveaway in the least bit. Every time I see surf and photographers shooting away. I think of our surf photo contest and here within the Steem protocol.
Now that things have settled down, I can now commit back to the giveaway. The prize pool will start at 2 Steem a week and divided into three places (1st, 2nd and 3rd). Granted it isn't much, but at this rate I can keep it sustainably on weekly autopilot and grow the pool if theses posts get loads more of upvotes.
Basically, what I am saying is I missed doing this contest and interacting with everyone in our growing community. You all know who you are :)
Intrepidsurfer's Steem Surf Photo Giveaway Map
To make this work, please include the general location of where you took the photo and I will plug into the map.
There will be two weekly Steem surf photo giveaway posts: Saturday to declare the start of the week and announce the previous weeks winners, and: Thursday is voting day.
Voting day is when I will make a special post and place all photo entries in the comments section. Here you get to vote for your favourites.
Week 12 prize pool is 2 Steem and will be disbursed as follows:
1st place: 1 Steem
2nd place: 0.75 Steem
3rd place: 0.25 Steem
All you have to do is post an amazing surf shot that YOU have taken. A quick description of the mood of the photo would be nice. I am not expecting that you tell us all which spot it is or roughly the area.
Rules:
1) First tag must be intrepidsurfer
2) Title must include "Steem surf photo giveaway [Week ..]
3) Please indicate where the photo was taken. This will be plugged into the map.
4)All photos must be original and only posted here on Steemit. There is a zero tolerance to plagiarism.
5) Add a link (plus picture) to your surf photo to the comments section of this post.
6) Spread the word to your friends. Easy way to meet people and potential get rewarded.
The winner will be decided by a public vote on a post I publish on Thursdays. In the event of a tie: I will decide and award accordingly.
Happy surf sessions everyone.
Alright. It just so happens that I live in a location with great surf. Looking forward to entering the contest. Surf & Steem on my friend.

Oh look at the glass! early morning session and I hear the water is quite warm.
The water has been super warm, no need for a wetsuit just trunks and a tee shirt.
oh hell yes :) welcome @tommywuli but you do need to make a separate post of your photo and linked into this one. Please include location as mentioned in the rules section of thegiveaway.
I'm reading the rules and I'm thinking it would be better if I post a picture that I personally took...
