I was hoping to capture more of Finley's session, but was slow to retrieve the camera. I did manage to get his last wave in.

The rights were difficult today as the wind and froth added notable texture to the wave faces. He navigated the lumps without difficulty though.

Kevin Gonzalez was the superstar of today's report. The clean, open lefts were perfect for his longboarding style.

I'm impressed with how casually he can walk around his board while in the pocket.

But it wasn't all flow for Kevin! Here he is clearly demonstrating that he knows how to "power surf" with a longboard.

I was unsure at first, but it turns out that Aura is back down visiting for a bit!

Her appearance and style were very reminiscent of what I remember, but I still didn't pin this as her at first.

It looks like she hasn't become too rusty during her time away from Nica! She has great style by planting / pivoting off of her trailing hand during her backside top turns.

The waves were very playful and clean today, especially fun on the right gear. Not what surf season should be, but at least the sandbars are good at "Fry Land". See you guys tomorrow.
