Yuji did what he could on this drainer. Just no exit open for him at the end.

Yuji has grown notably taller recently. It's harder to fit into the little tubes now isn't it Yuji? Hahah

Koji was the king of the carves. Yuji was more picky with his waves, only going for the hollower sets.

It's crazy how Spot X can magnify the swell by 2 or 3x when it feels the shallow sandbar.

Interesting style during this bottom turn, but setup is still looking good for Yuji here.

BAM! Looks like he was trying to one up Koji's carves. It was a good turn, but Koji had some good combos.

I like to surf Spot X with the boys because I take the lefts and they split the peak and go right.

We all know that surfing is about getting barreled. And Yuji might've got the barrel of the day.

This wave hit the bar perfectly and Yuji put himself in an ideal spot.

The round open ones like this are the best. They can be a little tricky to find though.

To quote Skipper from Madagascar, "You didn't see anything..." An AI generated wave right? Good, so we're clear it's not a real spot haha. All jokes aside, tomorrow will be pretty mellow again, but let's see what Tony Z captures.
