Happy people post-coffee, or maybe no coffee at all. Just a little wax and they’re out there!

Of course watching this as you prep your surf gear… makes you move a little quicker than normal.

When I got down there, it wasn’t too big, but as I watched it, the swell grew with about every 4 or 5 big sets throughout out the entire morning.

Total commitment type two. They both deserve applause because the end results don’t feel too nice.

and if you’ve never surfed the reef, you will most definitely at some point get to experience this not so fun dilemma. Just a friendly tip…. if you surf here when it’s big you WILL NEVER EVER be sitting too far out the back. EVER!

But this was all I saw. A broken leash/string is WAYYYYY better than a broken board tho. I’m sure we’ll see lots of that tomorrow.

Like I said, the swell was still growing even as I left the beach. So tomorrow should be full on… hopefully!
