A surfer rides a small wave in an open ocean, before wiping out. The surfer is male, wearing dark shorts or swimwear, and appears to be riding a light-colored surfboard. He falls forward into the wave and is obscured by splashing water. Other surfers are visible in the background, either on their boards or paddling in the water. The sky is a mix of blue and overcast clouds. The ocean appears choppy, with white foam and waves breaking near the shore, which has a dark, pebble-covered beach.
