This week Kooky Kyle strikes back getting a star on the board. Got to be honest people its still a two way street between Kooky and Mauriello. Now that we are myspace free there really is no reason not to play. Kooky asked what I would rather surf, Sand sucking barrels or perfect lined up waves such as Trestles.
The answer my friend is that I will take both. As a matter of fact I live on a wave, you may have heard of it, Sand Spit that offers both sand sucking barrels and rip able walls. Also Rincon on Low tide will barrel like a motherfucker and also allow for plenty of performance. El Capitan is a crazy heavy barrel that also offers high performance surfing. I live within a 15 mile radius of all these waves.
There are waves like this all over the world. J-Bay and Snapper Rocks offer great barrels and rip able sections. If you give me the choice of Beach, Reef, or Point Break, I will always take the point break no contest. On a beach break you may get a handful of days a year where every wave is perfect but 90% of the time your bobbing and weaving and fishing through close outs lucky to find a half dozen good ones at best. Meanwhile at a point even the not so perfect waves are pretty damn killable. As far as barreling reefs go I find them fun to visit but would get bored of just pulling in everyday.
