Up the ISO and set the white balance, play with shutter speeds and have fun

 

[McBunny]

only adjust the iso if your shutter speeds arnt high enough though

 

[B7JLS]

mmm how? lol - i know how to play with the shutter speed, but iso and the whit balance not

 

[Clart]

only you really knows what the conditions are - its all about trying different settings and figuring out what works best for the type of photo you are looking for.

I always get better results using manual settings when taking shots of surfers/ kite surfers. The reflection/ glare off the water can mess with your metering so I normally meter off my hand and take it from there, checking the histogram to be safe.
