Boy Surfing a Wave Under the Sun

A boy in board shorts stands on a surfboard with his knees bent and both arms stretched out to keep his balance. His hair is messy and windblown, and he looks off to the side with a small smile. The board cuts across a curling wave with foamy bubbles at the top, and more small waves ripple on the water behind him. Far off on the horizon you can see a low line of hills, and a round sun with long rays shines in the sky above. Try coloring the water in a few different blues and greens so the big wave stands out from the calm sea behind it. The sun and the board shorts are good places for bright colors. This page also works well for talking about beach safety, sunscreen, and what balance means when you surf.
