Nothing like a thick, green, Super Mario Pipe run to start the day. For the vision!

The swell was supposed to build through the day, but the biggest and most consistent window was this morning before and while I shot pictures.

Rights dominated the lineup given that there is relatively more West in this swell.

Oooohh! That snap is gonna hurt (the wave)! You can tell by the whitewater trail from his sharp bottom turn.

You can see we've got more size and barrels. Surf season is pretty much in swing. You can enjoy some time behind the curtain like this guy if you pull the trigger on tickets + accommodation!

Rowan skating into a glassy inside bowl. He was the luckiest guy today, as most of the waves were overhead plus on him!

The single swell, 19 second mirage... Maybe I just had the reverse horseshoe on me today, hence my grumpy take. It should be better by all metrics over the next few days. Hasta manana.
