When the swell fills in on South Side, Carlson owns the peak

A boogie boarder can’t stop him. See Ryan navigate the obstacle and straight into the tube @ 2:57. It’s just too good.

No rumors here, just a tall South African and a Mexican point break

As a regular-footer, I’d probably trade a year of California waves for one session at this sandy right-hander. Seriously.

Wowzers. Another edit nothing short of spectacular.

Good to see an array of maneuvers neatly packaged on each wave. FedEx would be proud.
