We were teeming with excitement and before the first light even arrived, we had our water boiling for our first morning coffee. Sitting there sipping and peeking out the window with a cotton candy sunrise, we witness the first perfect peeling right point break. The crew promptly suited up and we spent the next 3 hours … Read the full article
