Cohen came out lucky this time by sparing his Nikon D300s, with speedy hands pulling the camera away from the approaching water just before his 1/2500 exposure went off. The result is a tsuna-mini that Cohen freely admits draws huge inspiration from big-wave photographers like Clark Little and Shane Grace.
