What not switch gear(s) and surf a twin-fin in those smaller conditions? I mean, if he's hunting speed and all?

But this a warm up for the Aus leg, so unless he's going to be ripping out all the same manoeuvres on a twin..

Here him complain about the chop and moving down the beach.
Yet to east coast Oz those conditions we call light side shore.

So now I see why these guys are so good, they ride perfection all week.
