Hellooooo DAVID!

Good to see you found a soft rock at the end of the breakwater to catch this action.

Massive thanks for your most stimulating and encouraging feedback mate.

I have learned the hard way that even if these blokes don't catch the wave properly, to follow them right to the end as they do terrific stunts like this.

Surfing like any other life event, we must follow events right to the end.
If he did not catch this wave I am certain he´ll catch the next one and have a magnificent ride.

Keep it up
