Description:

This was my third and last session in Palau. The surf gods definitely saved the best conditions for last! Ben picked me up at my hotel around 930 and we were on the boat and at the break by 1030. The waves were shoulder high to overhead and winds were just enough to make it a little choppy. A small rain squall gave us the perfect chance to have some lunch before the winds died and we had a perfect glassy afternoon. Six of us went out with Bill that day, and there were so many waves to go around that you never had to fight for that perfect break. K.B. and Tino broke off about an hour before the rest of us and went spear fishing. After seven solid hours of Primo surf we all paddled back to the boat for fresh Sashimi and ice cold Asahi. If I ever have another day like this one I will consider myself twice blessed by the surf gods. There truly is nothing like clean head to overhead waves, good friends, fresh fish and cold beer to make a lifelong memory.
