A young woman on a surfboard is attempting to surf a small wave. She is standing on the board, facing the shore, with her arms outstretched for balance. The wave is not very large, and she appears to be struggling to maintain her balance. As the wave breaks, she falls off the surfboard and into the water. She is wearing a rash guard and shorts. The ocean is a deep blue color, and the sky is a clear blue with some white clouds. The scene takes place during the day, likely in the late afternoon, given the lighting. There is a black flag on a pole in the foreground of the shot.
