Memories: Cocoa Island, Maldives…
Good morning 3:40am.
North shore head high and onshore.
Ala Moana waist high and good.
Diamond Head chest high and good.
Trade winds are back at 20mph.
Sun, clouds, and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!
I’ve been trying to take this girl to the next level in surfing. It took some time, but her fundamentals are perfect so now it’s time to speed up the process. We’re going shorter on the boards, and heavier on the turns. And now she’s getting better faster than ever. 
One thing I teach my students is don’t try this unless you have the surfing fundamentals perfected. Because if you don’t, it won’t look good at all. It might feel good, but it won’t look good. But once the fundamentals are perfected, everything after will look beautiful. Just like this.
Seth’s been having a tough year. He started off strong but had a few shocker heats since. After 5 events, only the Top 21 will make the cut. Making the cut means you will be able to surf the rest of the events for 2023. If you don’t make the cut, you will fall off the tour and have to surf the brutal challenger series again. It’s a place nobody wants to be. So going into the 5th contest in Australia, Seth was on the fine line of make or break. I was so stressed out watching heat after heat. In the end, Seth made the cut and qualified for the rest of the season. Now I can finally sleep good again. Here is the list of the Top 21 surfers in the world. By the way, Kelly Slater didn’t make the cut.
