You folks are a hardy breed up there! Very nice action shot with soft lighting and good angle (your discomfort being well rewarded). I like the composition with the object in the lower left anchoring the image. I'd be inclined to clean up a few of the spots in the water: the one halfway between the tail and the wave, and the one 3/4 to the right, level with the head.
