A Rockpiles Contest???

14

Another beautiful morning as the sun started to rise.

Tahara-san surfing so good!  I saw him ride so many good waves this morning.

It’s cool to see a surfer smiling the whole ride.  That means he’s calm, comfortable, and stoked.  That’s what surfing is all about.

I was confused when I saw them setting up for a contest at Rockpiles.  Really???  I don’t think there was ever a contest at Rockpiles before.  I hope this isn’t going to happen too often because that lineup is tight, the locals surf there everyday, and it’s not a good place to have a contest.  Wait for low tide and you’ll see why.

Is this the new contest spot?  I’m still a little surprised.  Not as surprised as the locals though.  If I surfed there everyday, I’d be super bummed.

Round 2 at Bowls.  Hashimoto-san looking and feeling so good.

Everyday he’s improving and everyday he’s building important muscle memory.

It’s been a while since the sun was shining all day like today.  Clean water, fun waves, and paradise is back!
