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 />

Curl<br />
