The conditions were perfect to gain speed and hit the lip with power, which means throwing big curtains of water on every wave.

It didn’t matter if you were going left or right, the waves allowed you to do the same both ways.

When it’s small like today, Kevin doesn’t waste any moment to try new things… or to master them.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were pretty much firing when I rocked up to take pictures, but just like yesterday the wind went side-shore as soon as I put the camera away. At least some surfers caught the magic window.
