This is little Kai. He is probably the lightest surfer in the neighborhood, so he was least effected by the small surf.

He had to stay light on his feet, but snuck in a quick floater to open the wave.

His patience and low center of gravity paid off further down the line. A relatively steep section opened up for him.

Bang! Snap of the day haha. This was Erik's last wave. It was slow out there, so almost everyone exited the water.

Ryder was very patient and found a clean, fast peeling left to finish her session. She is gradually learning the rule that you should always catch a wave in. You never want to paddle all of the way in haha.

I was impressed that he saw this barrel section coming and pulled up into it. It was a good read from the young buck.

He found some shade! Big props to Kai for pulling up into this tube. It's nerve-racking as a grom when you first start pulling into tubitos.

The wind was sideshore at all peaks aside from French Fries. For Kai it was like his own personal little wave pool.

The run of mellow and micro surf continues. So much for surf season haha. Very playful, but no teeth and chomp to it. Tomorrow should be a touch bigger, but will still be fairly small.
