There's tons and tons of cool surf pics out there, but I think this may be the coolest I've seen! Love the backlighting shining thru the water, bringing out all the different colors.

Location
Austinmer Beach, NSW AustraliaTime
Early morning just after sunriseLighting
I had been trying to capture this image for awhile and knew I needed direct sunlight and a big swell so the light would shine through the wave. It meant going out many times and hoping the light would be right on the day.Equipment
Shot on a Manfrotto tripod with Nikon D800 and Nikon 70 -200 with 1.7 extension.Inspiration
I love the way early morning sun lights up through the waves. Adding a surfer to the image provides an extra point of interest. I practised for months taking images of surfers and shooting the waves and finally brought it together with the right light and someone who could surf well.Editing
I shoot in RAW and use lightroom and photoshop for my images. I have used the usual adjustments such as levels and contrast, some clarity and a slight vignette.In my camera bag
A variety of lenses for my Nikon D800 - 20mm, 24 - 70 mm and 70 - 200 (all Nikon). I have recently purchased a Tamron 150 - 600 for surf shots - fantastic sharp lens - highly recommend.Feedback
The most important thing is to shoot at the highest ISO your camera can cope with since you need to shoot very fast - 1/2000 sec is not unusual.
