Thanks Neal for sending me the shot. \u00a0Yeah, this one was a lucky one from behind. \u00a0As soon as I saw Ray paddling for this wave, I knew it was going to be a good one so I took off behind him and followed him. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Ray didn’t know I was behind him so I was trying to get as close as possible. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Then the waves started to get steep again and his eyes were looking right at the barrel coming up. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

So I speed up and try to get a little more in front of the wave so I can see the barrel. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the perfect view from behind. \u00a0Watching your friend ride one of the best waves of the day. \u00a0This view doesn’t get any better. \"\"<\/p>\n

Gosh, I was so close behind that I felt like I was in the barrel with Ray. \u00a0This is freaking beautiful! \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

This is where I have to make a split decision. \u00a0Do I keep on following Ray and get the complete sequence? \u00a0OR, do I start to turn away so his surfboard doesn’t hit me in the face if he falls? \u00a0I listened to my natural instinct and turned away at the last minute. \u00a0It turned out to be the right decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
