High-tide softened up the swell some. Gavin Doan chilling out and taking slow with the "fat" conditions.

The South peak right was still working today. I saw a few keepers there. It took patience to find them though.

The longboarder held his own out there too. I like how coiled up on rail he got here during his bottom turn.
