A bodyboarder and bodysurfer share the same wave. The shorebreak at Sandy's Beach (HI) is extremely dangerous and is remarkable to capture and watch.

A brief second after this the wave crashed on the bodyboarders head. The body surfer made it out A okay.

Taken with a Nikkor VR 70-300mm lense.

Definitely those 'one moment' thing that if you don't capture now, it will be gone the next sec. Most fitting for the theme. Yeah from me too.
