More a look of concentration Penny; he has nothing to fear on a smallish wave like that unless he was very unlucky and took the board in the face. I did that a few times in the past and it hurts to think about it still :-)

the instense look on his face is hopefully one of awe and not of fear?

What really sets this apart from most of this kind is teh very clear detail of the surfer, especially of the face (as Bruce mentioned). Great capture Brent. -tv

Water shots appear to be popular in the challenge. This also happens to be another good example of everything coming together at the right time.

Thanks Bruce :-) This young guy was quite expressive as he pushed the limits. I surfed this same spot several times a week back when I was his age- about a century ago.
