Check out First peak, it wasn’t consistent at all but with patience you could find one like this.

Mario Martinez was eager to find a barrel… he found a few but he could not find the exit on any of them.

It was a different story with Elyin Guzman… he got barreled many times and made it out on most of them.

I missed the best 3 barrels of the day, back to back… I was on the phone dealing with clients and last minute reservations, when a great set came and wave after wave the perfect barrels opened and there was a surfer deep inside getting covered… and coming out perfectly clean. It was beautiful.
