But where is the surfer gone ?

I am sure this scene will echo to something from your photographer's experience : I catch the surfer, adjust the zoom, adjust the focus, press the shutter and ... the subject has disappeared from the picture.

Wonderful capture of the wave movement and action.

You've captured the power of the water well

Looks painful for the surfer.
