Cronulla Boarders

A sprinkling of sleek black specks
heads bobbing
wetsuits dripping
waiting
in the distance, waves gather momentum...
rolling
one paddler, 'mine!'
arms dip, rotating, faster, faster
hero kingdom, this will be the one
notoriety and respect
all for the underdog,
caught-
head bobs, gasps,
cord loose
board free
voices carry out, 'head's up!'
'you got this...'
'you.got.this...'
