This was taken in Missoula, MT on the river, that's why I could get the slow shutter speed plus freeze him. The waves were making him go back and forth in the same spot.
..I panned a tiny tiny bit in some of the shots, and I'm not sure if this was one of them! I took a ton, and this was the only one that came out pretty sharp.

Nice action candid. Feel like the surfer could do with a touch more 'pop' but I can guarantee that if you showed him this shot he would want a copy of it
This is simply an incredible capture. I can't believe that you managed a crisp focus on the face with all that motion blur going on! I don't know how you will end up in scoring though as I look at this and the first thing I see is action and not Candid...
