The Last Look
There are many pinnacle experiences that a surfer has from taking part in a sport that fortifies one's connection with nature. From that first drop-in to the first barrel ride, these experiences are what draw surfers back to the ocean. In my experience as a surfer there is one thing that I love to do and it doesn't even involve riding the wave. As I'm paddling out on a beautiful backlit day I like to pause for a moment as I duckdive and watch the beauty of the waves as they throw over me. Time seems to stand still for that moment and the beauty of the wave reveals itself for the last time before crumbling to shore. This image reminds me of that moment of the last look.
