Takahashi-san requested to surf the best spot today. so that’s where we went! and guess what? nobody was out all morning long. we had it to ourselves for 2 hours!!! score.

this place always barrels no matter what. looking from the side is cool.

and looking from the front is cool too. either way, a barrel is a barrel.
