THE<br />
MONEY<br />
SHOT<br />
In your mind you are racing through a<br />
high speed cutback at warp speed, your<br />
board dislocating the waves shoulder,<br />
sending plumes of salty spray into the<br />
stratosphere.<br />
Your best mate is capturing this incredible<br />
feat on his brand new underwater<br />
camera and giggles like a giddy school<br />
girl as you stroke back to the line up,<br />
feeling like an ancient Hawaiian god.<br />
Nonchalantly, you pause to cast your<br />
eye over this moment captured in time<br />
and try to look nonplussed at the image<br />
before you.<br />
You are sure this is the money shot, even<br />
a cover shot... One for the ages. What<br />
greets you however, on that small camera<br />
screen, is a cold hard deliberate truth.<br />
There is no hiding.<br />
There are no excuses.<br />
You are a crab.<br />
