View 2: Crowds gather in front of Hotel Breakers in Hermosa Beach to watch a contest that is taking place, possibly with lifeguards as competitors. In this view the crowd is seen five to seven rows deep, in a large semi-circle with some people at the ends standing in the ocean. A row of female competitors, all wearing dark bathing suits and white swimming caps, stand on the inside of the semi-circle. They appear to be waiting for the 'go-ahead' to race into the surf.
