The scene depicts a young male in the coastal waters of Dikwella, Sri Lanka. The subject, a shirtless child or pre-teen with dark, shoulder-length hair, is viewed from behind, partially submerged in green-blue ocean water. He wears dark blue swim trunks. He holds a turquoise bodyboard, marked with the word "JACK" in black lettering, vertically in front of him. A breaking wave surrounds the boy and the board, generating white foam and spray, as he appears to push the board into the wave. The water exhibits ripples and movement. In the far background, under an overcast sky with diffused light, a distant landmass populated with palm trees is visible to the right. Faint, indistinct figures are present in the water further offshore to the left.
