Thanks man, long story regarding that shot, CNN featured a story about it.
To make a long story short, I was trying to capture the holy grail of wave photos (7 yrs ago) which is the sunrise inside the barrel of the wave. After nearly 6 months of trying and waking up at 4:30am, I was ready to give up. The last day I woke up so tired and I was going to give up, I was holding my head up still half asleep while the alarm was going off and I said to myself "I'm tired and I'm done.." but I forced myself and that morning during sunrise, I saw a perfect size wave coming towards me, I swam out and held my arm up to get inside the barrel of the wave and snapped a few photos. This was one of the sequence shots. The shot BEFORE this one is my favorite photo and it's called "The Shot", pretty self explanatory I guess.
I should post that photo, out of all the photos I've taken, it is definitely my favorite one.
