    I don't know Koa, but I'm thinking 14:22 (or near) needs to be put on your wall (if it could be paused and blown up a little without loosing clarity). Just knowing that was coming from you, sun making part of it orange, just amazing. Been blessed to have that same view during dawn patrol, when the sun was rising and the inside barrel was just glistening orange all over. Your vid took me right back to it.

    Hi Koa...as I've commented before, you're surfing so well lately--it really is a pleasure to watch you on big barreling lefts...so, what better place for you to surf this time of year than Indonesia 🇮🇩 ? Can you imagine--not so very long ago, the only people allowed to surf those waves were guests of Tavarua Island Resort--no outside boat parties of off-island surfers allowed...I work with a guy in the ER who used to go down there as the Team Physician with Rusty---Rusty would book the entire resort for him & his guests (which included all his team of pro surfers) for an entire week or two...of course, I realize you & Billy aren't really having much difficulty scoring the waves you want, even with the smaller crowds in the water with you...safe travels to you & da boyz...Aloha, Bill
