Yuji surfed with grace and precision today. Aiden was the one to point Yuji's precision out to me. Both he and Koji are so good at rail to rail surfing, that I had taken it for granted. But upon reviewing the photos I gained a greater appreciation for what Aiden was saying.

Yuji found the higher quality waves, but Koji made the most of what he found out there.

I told you that Yuji found the gems. His foresight and composure can be seen by his patient check-turn down the wave to setup for his bottom-turn.

Perfect technique on display. You can really see the bottom of his board here. That means he's aiming for a sharp, near vertical bottom-turn.

The sharper your bottom-turn is, the more torque you can generate up top. Toruqe is power, but style and composure add to Yuji's aesthetic.

Jeison coiling up. Should be a good top-turn coming up.

The section was still fairly flat, so Jeison chose the correct move. A carve, not a snap.

Further down the line he clocked the end-section with a solid tag.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from French Fries. The size was less than I expected and the wind was stronger. That being said there were still a few fun waves on the sets.
