Surfer inside the wave curl: tighter crop

Thanks to all the supportive comments, and particularly to the insightful suggestion of @rosiekerr to crop tighter and @taffy to up the contrast, I now present version 2. I'm so appreciative of the 365 community for helping me reconsider and see alternate versions!
