How to choose a photo of the surfer:
If possible, submit high resolution image. Aim for the photo to show clear details of the person and the horizon line is visible. While the face does not need to be clear, make sure the arms and legs are distinguishable. Avoid silhouettes and backlighting. If the focus is on the maneuver, aim for the person to take up most of the page. If taken as a sequence, include several photos from that sequence. Stills from a GoPro are fine but make sure they are in the right format.
