Editor’s Note: Spot Snapshot is a series that highlights an image and explains what you’d never know by simply looking at it. As the cliché goes, “a picture is worth 1000 words.” Here, a featured photographer brings you both.

This photo was taken at Salt Creek State Beach, Southern California. Conditions weren’t the best that day, so I was just about to go in and call it quits. Once I saw that the waves were picking up, I thought to stay in for a bit more. The first wave came in and I wanted to get a bigger and different perspective than I usually go for, so I came in from behind the wave and captured where the lip is just coming down to more of the barrel to the left. As a shore break photographer, I try to keep my pictures interesting and clean. Thankfully, I stayed in the water for that extra minute.
