Traveling Surfer guy

First in my series of mancaves.
hours involved: about 10
2-3 shooting
2 editing
5 lightroom and photoshop
equipment: Canon 7D, 1 travelite bounced into the wall and ceiling.
Lighting was flat - need to do the room and subject justice, required lots of photoshop.
Reviewed Joe McNally classes on environmental portrait
Any advice for a better way to light the room?
