i called matchi early in the morning. he didn’t answer. i paddle out to backdoor and he was already out there. i was stoked to see him out there so early in the morning. i surfed backdoor, nothing. went to off the wall, nothing. back to backdoor, nothing. back to off the wall, nothing. i had a shitty session so i just came in. today just wasn’t my day and i didn’t want to force anything and get hurt. usually i’d be bummed but i’m not going anywhere anytime soon so there will be more days to come… so i went home to change and came back to watch the waves. just as i got there, i seen matchi walking up the beach with the biggest smile on his face. a smile that i haven’t seen come from him after 20 years on the north shore. he told me he got the best backdoor barrel of his life!! i’m really stoked for matchi and i hope to see him out there every morning. like i always say “hard work always pays off!!”
here’s matchi yesterday at vland. his best session he’s ever had out there. two days of epic surf!! does life get any better??? ask matchi….
maoh also got some really nice ones yesterday. he was ripping!!!
rikiya was ripping too. i saw him after he broke his board this morning at off the wall. now he’s down to only one more board, a 7’7. maoh and rikiya are already signed up on our april mentawai surf trip. the seats are filling up fast so if you want to go, better email me real soon. oh, we leave bali on april 18th headed to padang. board the boat and going surfing/diving/fishing and having fun!!!
i still think yumi-chan got the best wave i’ve ever seen at vland. this is sequence #28 out of 32. #7 and 8 is freaking crazy!!!
