Great capture of an amazing wave and surfer. I think I might like this as a closer crop, cutting off the dull sky and the person in the water to the right. It might look funny though if the surfer was running into the edge of the frame, so who knows. You may have done the right thing by keeping the entire wave in the shot.

Fabulous shot that documents and allows us to enjoy the full drama, rather than the more predictable telephoto of the guy on the board. hope it does well for you

Interesting variation on the surfer shot. The tire tracks and people at the bottom left balance the surfer well, although cutting out the negative space to the right of the surfer and the sky might actually make this a stronger photo. It may be cool to try.

The angle is just fantastic on this - the moment I laid eyes on it I got a sense of tilted vertigo, like I, too, was there surfing the waves. Awesome! :)
