The ocean rose behind him, a silver-black wall, alive and hungry. Kai felt the pulse of it in his bones, the hum of something ancient calling his name. He crouched low, the waxed deck of his board beneath his feet, his body folding into the wave’s rhythm.
The crest curled over him, a cathedral of water, and for a heartbeat, time splintered. Droplets hung in the air like shattered glass, each one catching the fading light. The world outside the tunnel blurred into shadow. Inside, there was only the roar, the thundering voice of the sea, and the raw electric thrill of the drop.
Then..release. He shot forward, slicing through the chaos, a streak of motion against the boiling foam. The wave collapsed behind him, an explosion of white fury, but Kai was already gone.
Onshore, no one had seen him. No cameras, no crowd. Just the sea and the sky and the fleeting, perfect moment that belonged to him alone.
