For photographs like these I consider it essential to be able to see the surfer's face -especially if one were to actually try to market it as a stock photo.
I'm also not very fond of the colors in the picture, perhaps high-contrast B&W would suit it better?
Almost every surfing photo one sees is of success, but I find this shot of the surfer just losing control to be much more interesting. I love the orange and yellow against the foamy green surf.
