Finished hand-drawn storybook editorial illustration, landscape 5:4. Side view of one fictional lanky surfer riding rightward along the face of a single oversized curling wave. Place the surfer just right of centre, with long legs folded into a low crouch, a compact torso, one arm reaching forward and the other trailing for balance. Tiny simple face, blunt mitten-like hands, amber swim shorts. A comically short but clearly recognizable amber surfboard stays visible beneath both feet. The charcoal wave sweeps up from the lower left and curls overhead; a few broad cream foam marks suggest motion. Warm pale sand-coloured paper, open space ahead of the board. Expressive uneven marker contours, broad flat fills, slight stroke overlaps, deliberately exaggerated silhouettes. Clear at thumbnail size, playful and uncluttered; no intricate hatching, extra people, shoreline props, text, logos or watermarks.
