This moment

This perfect moment has been captured for a fraction of a second. The picture tells me this moment could last forever. This moment is the reward for the endless wading patience. The experience approaches slowly but hits faster than expected. The smooth role pushes everything forward and he feels the moment. Earth, mother nature, higher power or whatever you call it, it still leads to the same thing. This moment, this perfect moment. Suddenly, the hot summer air is hitting his skin and the cool ocean blue is balancing a perfect temperature. The exhilarating movement of the water is flowing up through his legs and into his mind. He realizes this is his moment. Everything around him is absorbed, the clear sky matching the blue ocean, the blazing sun scorching the sand and the salty air being sucked into his lungs. Suddenly focus hits. Faster than ever he is being shot through a blue cyclone. His board is the only friend he has to keep him a float. The ocean's power rushes him out of the barrelling blue water. It's all over. The ocean takes its calm and steady poise once again. No waves, no rolls, just calm. The moment is finished but not over. The picture has it forever and can be experienced at anytime. This is a perfect moment. http://www.travelwizard.com/tahiti/media/rte-import/tahiti%20surf%20vacation.jpg
