Well done. I know this would be a tough shot to get focus. Surfer would have on the wave face in the shadows when you tracked him.
What was the equipment and settings?
Anything tips or learnings in getting this shot?

Thanks crazydaddio for checking out this posting and your nice response to it. I shot this photo with a Canon 6D and the Tamron 150-600mm tele.
Here is my secret formula for most of my surfing photos: Shutter speed: 1/1000th, F8, ISO usually about 400 (give or take depending upon the brightness). Lens: Tamron 150-600mm......focal length varies depending upon how close the surfer is. Often times I will have the lens at about 500mm - and the surfer will be about 150' away. Since this photo was taken at near "dusk" time, I had the ISO at 400 with the F stop at 6.3 at 1/1000th of a sec. This camera body is very good in low light conditions. There is no noise going on because the ISO was so low. Tips: anticipate the surfer's next move before he does it.
