Models & Shot list

I have explained the shot types I will use within the magazine in an earlier post however I didn't explain the models and equipment requirements for my images.
The photography for my magazine is quite simple as I don't require any models to pose as such all I need is to go to the beach and take images of people surfing. My ideal photo would be of someone mid wave but facing the camera, this is not the easiest to ensure however I will try my best in order to get the right shot for my articles. I will be using a Cannon 5D with a tripod set up on the beach, I will also be using a 75-300mm lens to get up close to the surfers without walking to close to the water with the equipment. The most difficult part of the photo shoot will be capturing an in focus action shot that will work as a cover image however the tripod should counteract the camera shake.
