Perfect placement of this opening top-turn. Representing Action surfboards from back in North Carolina. Bobby Webb!

One of the Rancho instructors setting up for a gem. Kinda kicking myself that I didn't spend more time in the water on my shortboard today!

Koji looks like he took some inspiration from yesterday's surf pics of Grant. I almost thought this was Grant at first when flicking through the photos on my laptop.

He finished with a fourth turn where he sprayed himself in the face. People sleep on French Fries, but it is a real, high-quality wave when it is working.

Here's Grant! He was like a pig in mud out there today. French Fries is his favorite wave when working as it was today and yesterday.

Shortboards were the move today, but longboards were still fun!

Brett closing today's action with a rare left! The lefts are softer than the rights, so his mid-length made it easy for him to cruise with ease here. Tomorrow will likely be similar, maybe a touch smaller. Hasta manana.
