The swell backed off just a touch so some magic could happen. Lesther was on it. For the record, he would still be on it even if it was big and maxed out!

Yeah Lesther!! Normally, we are stoked for two good barrels for breakfast but that’s a daily routine for this machine.

However, some great lefts rolled through on the other side of the rip tide. Jackson, one of the best local rippers, was already there.

Some waves were still long lines that closed out. Regardless, you can always find a corner begging you to smash it.

When I started taking photos this morning, it was still cloudy (and it stayed partly cloudy all day). A cloudy day helped our skin heal and prepare for another big day of surf tomorrow!

May has been a great month of surf for us: consistent head high waves, friendly winds, and an endless amount of rights. No complaints in NICA Land!!

Who said paddleboarders can’t handle critical waves?! This guy was drawing aggressive lines and bashing the corners all morning.

A new swell is supposed to fill in tomorrow. Oscar and I are both excited to find more waves like these- but with a little more size!

Oscar had one more message for the crowds: look for me in the barrel and then above the wave.
