Awesome , I have quite a few of these as I spe******e in surf photography , shooting in A1 servo I can take 3,000 shots in a day and sometimes am lucky to come away with a dozen that are any good , its worth the wait though and you,ve certainly got a magazine shot here , well done .

Excellent!

The Wait... That right there is the nature of surfing, but then it hits and it makes it worthwhile.
