The photo was used with permission from a surfing photographer @abstractwater.
His reflection on the moment of capture was: "It was one of the most surreal afternoons I have ever spent in the water. A storm passed over us and the wind completely stopped. It was silent between waves and we could hear the birds singing in the trees."
