Here's some scoop on how to get the money shot if you've got a big lens and some friendly's ripping on the water.
A taste: " Sports photography is one of the more rewarding types of photography. It is more challenging to master than it looks as things are usually happening really fast, which leaves little time to think about composition or technical aspects. Most other types of photography happens at a relaxed pace and allows you to plan and think about your shot.
Equipment Guidelines
Sports photography is very demanding on your wallet. If you want to get good at sports photography be prepared to start spending some money. Sports photography lends itself to favor fast telephoto lenses, ultra wide angle lenses, and the fastest camera you can buy.

When it comes to camera bodies, professional sports photographers prefer the Canon EOS 1D or Nikon's D2X which are top of the line sports cameras."
