Why take just a picture? Have the guy take a video panning the entire ocean for 15? 30? seconds and then allow surfers to view video. Capture some random images of the video for people who don't want to look at video.

I agree that video is a better way to communicate the surfing conditions. This is why I added Youtube videos as well to the SwellPhone feed. However, Youtube seems to have far less geo tagged UGC media than Instagram.
