I can still vividly recall the feeling of looking down the wave
during a wipe-out. Having been there I have some empathy
for the situation and would want to capture a bit of that feeling.
You have the choice of how he got there, where he's going, or
[in some cases] some unusual or spectacular static shot.
Dropping in to a wave or pulling out tend to be the most
dynamic. [IMHO] Resist the tight crop in favor of the story.
OK, I think that's enough of my babbling.
Last I checked the surf looks big but choppy and
blown out today.

Here is surfing shot.

No there isn’t.

So there isn't. But try this one.

You could have explained that.

what you should do is test urls before posting, and do so in a browser
that is *not* logged into whatever site it is.

also stop using tinyurl.

Perhaps you should.
It is worthwhile considering the source, or individual posting before blindly
clicking on any URL.

For example, I have no problem trusting DB, Adobe CC, Smugmug, Flickr, and
TinyURL (if used when there are going to be obvious long URL issues, or if
the TinyURL preview option is used) links from the usual group of
contributors. However, as with some mystery emails, and mystery Usenet
posters, one should be a tad cautious.

Unfortunately there are way too many non-compliant apps posing as Usenet
clients out there, and many times, even when using delimiters (which I always
use) URL are broken for some viewers. So there are times TinyURL can be
useful for those folks. There are some sites, Adobe CC/LR Mobile shared URLs
which are automatically shortened by Adobe, with no option to present the
full length URL.
Like so from CC Assets:
