Description
As I took this the Beach Boys tune was going through my head.
For centuries surfing was a central part of ancient Polynesian culture. Surfing might have been first observed by Europeans at Tahiti in 1767 by Samuel Wallis and the crew members of the Dolphin who were the first Europeans to visit the island in June 1767.
Another candidate is the botanist Joseph Banks being part of the First voyage of James Cook on the HMS Endeavour, who arrived on 10 April 1769 on Tahiti. Lieutenant James King was the first one who wrote about the art of surfing on Hawaii when completing the journals of Captain James Cook upon Cook's death in 1779.
Have a nice day.

Very dynamic shot, lovely colours and composition. He seems to have stolen a golf flag from somewhere though. OK, so I'm not a surfer ;) Not a crit, but I wish you would post your EXIF data. I'm fascinated how you got the angle on this, you seem to be looking down, so I have to assume a long lense from a cliff? Best, Steve.
