Here is the nemesis of many of us… a late vertical drop that usually comes right before a nice barrel (not the case on this one though).

The local crew showed up right on time for the tide to start going down, which usually means the waves will start getting better.

He finished the wave with a really good floater and top it off with an air drop over the falls. Perfect execution.

Now we fast forward to the late afternoon… my neighbor Eric and I, instead of going surfing ourselves, we decided to invest in our future… we took the kids for a sunset session.

We’ve been guiding them which waves to take, how to paddle, how to move around with the boards, etc, and the most important thing… that surfing is super fun!
