Carlitos' form is gradually improving too! He managed to wipe off some speed toward the end, but needed to execute this move right after the takeoff.

I respect the effort and that he held his line through the barrel! He just got clipped on the way out. Little by little the groms are taking over!

His entry and stall were perfect, but the wave just outran as it unwound on the sandbar. Still a very good find and look on JJ's part!

Rowan was a man on a mission today. If he wasn't hunting the barrel he was looking for a lip to smack.

You can see the wave shape has been consistent since Wednesday, just that the size has slowly faded. We should start to see more swell tomorrow night! Let's see if it shows up early. Hasta manana.
