It’s been a weird winter season for the south shore. \u00a0There’s usually a couple overhead west swells that wrap into town, or there’s usually a couple south swells that pump. \u00a0But this year, there was none. \u00a0The past 4 months of small waves. \u00a0BUT, if you’re coming from Japan, this is epic! \u00a0Nakamura-san scoring Bowls lefts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The winter season also brings beautiful skies. \u00a0Everyday will be different and everyday will amaze you. \u00a0We have days with clouds, days with no clouds, days with haze, and days of the most clearest air in the world. \u00a0This day was right in between.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When I’m giving tips on surfing technique, I prefer the waves to be small like this. \u00a0That way the emotions are less, and that way I can ride behind and take photos like this. \u00a0We build muscle memory on days like this so we can perform on the bigger days.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ve been seeing so many surfers these days not wearing a leash. \u00a0When someone takes off like this, the leash is first thing I look for because I’m measuring distance. \u00a0If they’re wearing a leash, I know how far I should be away. \u00a0BUT, when they’re not wearing a leash, anything can happen. \u00a0In this case, this girl had no leash, she looked straight at me, fell, and her longboard shot over my head and missed me by inches. \u00a0I was pissed! \u00a0I don’t like when low level surfers try to act cool by not wearing a leash. \u00a0Low level surfers that don’t wear a leash are the total opposite of cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
