The car guard told me some surfers went down the beach to search for waves. I went for it and 40 minutes later I could actually spot three surfers drawing their lines into these icy Atlantic beauties.

I wish I could've gotten a little closer. The shot is already cropped. And I was carrying my EF 100-400 but I couldn't get close enough.

Levi Epenetos surfing the quarter final of WSL Cape Town Pro 2025.

The shot has a lot of contrast and nice texture on the water from being backlit / sidelit by the sun. It was still bright enough to shoot with 1/1000s in order to capture the spray and hectic movements. Surfing is a quick sport. Chose a larger aperture because I wanted detail on the face of the wave and the spray. Auto ISO to keep my time and aperture, Image stabiliser on, AF on servo mode and Zone AF.
