At the end of a wave the surfer kicks out......in this case the surfer waited about as long as he could and got the splash of water in his face. The light on the spray is captivating to me. This is another image where it is much better viewed after downloading it!

Yes, I see why this image is best viewed in download! Clever capture on your part, Brent. Better timing than that surfer had.
:-D

This photo is just so dynamic! Especially how the surfer and water dramatically collide - a powerful depiction of Man versus Nature. Among your many surfing pics, this is certainly one of the best I think. Thanks for sharing, Brent!

Thank you pixelmaven........but in defense of this surfer, my guess is that he wanted to milk the wave for ALL that it had to offer before it closed out on him.

Fantastic shot, definitive moment! Love the water spray over the surfer and over the wave ridge, and love the way the light comes through the rise of the wave. Spectacular image, Brent.

Very true! When you kick out like this with the wave breaking on you there is a lot of water drops going on!
