Not talking just this video, obviously a small manageable pool wave... but I don't se others chilling in the barrel off the take off in these pools then casually making the deep section from way back... that and seeing you navigate and make all those beasty barrels at Pipe and Spot are at another level. @@RIK_JAMES420_POV

The morning before this I paddled out and got tossed on the ledge multiple times before the wind went bad, then came in and went around the corner where I got planted on my back shredding my wetsuit and myself. I almost pulled the pin on this session early after getting rolled on the ledge on my first 4 attempts. It’s not always as easy as it seems, I well and truly paid dues before this session came together.

If your lens has a hydrophobic coating ( I think from hero 9 standard lenses onwards ) then you need to burn it off with a lighter. There should be tutorials on KZread. Other than that, lick your lens before using it in water and then periodically throughout your session and you should be good 👍
