I continue to be impressed by the amazingly fast and accurate AF of the Canon 5D MIII at surfing, even with an ancient Mark II 1.4x TC on the equally old 500 f4 IS.
The full frame sensor provides a wide canvas around the subject, and this allows framing and compositional flexibility in post, while still leaving enough pixels for big prints after cropping. The larger field of view likewise makes initial subject acquisition much easier.
