Rained In!

The past few days have, of course, had more epic waves than we know what to do with. It has been on, but I for one, Kevin to some extent, have been keeping my sun exposure to a minimum. I have a bit of a char on the back of my calves, so evening sessions have been my routine. Luckily, there has been a definite pattern of sunny morning and mid day followed by an afternoon thunderstorm that passes by the island and cools it down. This was all fine and dandy until last night when a huge thunder squall came right over the top of us. It was a maelstrom out there around 1am last night: super windy, sideways rain and lots of thunder and lightning. There's nothing like lightning in the tropics, sky lightning. Very impressive.
All day today, the weather has been off. It has been raining and windy, but nothing like last night. Even so, the waves have suffered and this is the first day that we haven't surfed due to poor conditions. There was one other day that was massive, too big to surf without a gun. More big surf on the way, we're looking forward to finding and surfing a few little protected gems in the next week. Asu and Bawa are gonna be mental, possibly too much so.
Internet too slow for pics today. Sorry.
Shoots for now! - Genji K
