Taken by a friend of a friend. I just love it. Great shot!

This is how it's done by Bryce Bradford

It is a great shot, though I'd say the dolphin is breaching or leaping and not actually surfing. Let's hope the dolphin wasn't after a shark after the surfer!

Was your friend of a friend on a boat?
Cool shots.

He might have just been jumping, but it is also just as likely that he was actually surfing.
One of my friends is an avid surfer, and has witnessed dolphins surfing the waves a few times now. I have also personally seen video footage of it.

Edit to add:
Just a quick youtube look comes up with a few good examples
Dolphin's surfing
The best footage on that video is at 1:50, so skip ahead if you like
