A surfer is riding a wave in the ocean. The surfer, wearing a black suit, is positioned in the center of the wave on a surfboard. The wave is moderate in size, with white foam cresting on its top edge. The ocean stretches out to the horizon, which is visible in the distance. The sky is overcast, with a thin layer of clouds covering the blue sky. The water color is dark blue, with shades of turquoise near the breaking wave. The shot is taken from a high angle, presumably from the shoreline. The surfer attempts to turn, but loses balance and falls off the board.
