There’s been a serious lack of swell at Chopes this past week but Taylor, Tiago and I found some waves on the eastside of the island.

Hey,

I’m sitting in Auckland airport and was wondering why I see my family only twice a year; I wish I could be home more. I only spent one week at home but it made me feel so much better. I love being home surfing perfect waves by myself, fishing all day, playing with my dogs and enjoying my family.

Being a pro surfer is probably the best job anyone could have — traveling, being in the ocean, meeting the nicest people — I only wish I could go back home more often.

I’m on my way to Tahiti, there’s a good swell coming that’s why I chose to go earlier, I have many friends there and the place is SICK so I am looking forward to it!!!
