 super big sets, super good swell direction, and super good winds producing the biggest barrels!  i got barreled on my first wave, paddled back out, and asked Reid &#8220;hey, can you reschedule your afternoon appointment?&#8221;  he went back to the boat, made a phone call, and rescheduled.  we ended up surfing the best 3 hours of perfect waves.  i lost count on my barrels after 10 as every single wave was barreling big time!  it was super empty so we scored!  one of the top 5 best all time sessions of my 30 years of surfing Big Rights.   i was so stoked!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9427.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9427.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9427\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61079\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nthen passed by Bowls on the way back in.  super crowded and very dirty water.  yuck.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9433.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9433.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9433\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61081\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nbodyboarder finding the shade.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9459.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_9459.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9459\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61068\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nMike Akima on a good one.<br \/>\nwell, 2 more south swells this week.  north swell this week.  east swell this week.  waves everywhere with perfect off shore winds.  hard to leave paradise right now!
