This boogieboarder found a real gem out there. It wasn't huge or a long tube, but was definitely cream of the crop for what was available today.

He tucked in perfectly. I had reasonable confidence in his ability to make the tube because he didn't need to generate much speed to make the exit.

The rights were better for barrels and sharp snaps in the pocket, but this grom found a left drainer.

It wouldn't be a proper surf report without Finley. I'd say he spends one third of his waking hours in the water.

It's a totally different approach and attitude to how I surf. I would've kicked out here, but Finley continued to stay busy on the inside corner.

And he finished it with a little boost. He surfed this wave to the utmost of the potential that if offered him.

A well timed lip-slide! We are fortunate to be visited by such talented and skilled up-and-coming groms.
