We're shooting a video at LOWER again today.
The waves were small for LOWER, but they broke nicely on the right and left.

The POLY-PARALLEL-FLEX specification is becoming more common in CALIF.

Chris Ward was also with us today.

Chris also has the SUB-DRIVER model.
There is an FCS fin plug on the nose of the deck, which is for a GO PRO camera.

Chris is applying wax to his feet.
All good surfers apply wax to the top of their feet like this.

As you head out to sea, you can apply the wax on the top of your feet to the bottom of your feet to improve your grip.
I encourage everyone to try this out as it's extremely effective.
Don't forget to apply it to the deck grip.
Chris was on the 10th wave and he was flying into a dangerous wave, and he got hit by a dolphin.
It was tough, I landed in the impact zone and wiped out, then hit my chest hard on the board and had to leave the competition.

Shaw also wants to ride Nishii's XTR PARALLEL-FLEX SUB-DRIVER model.

Two wooden stringers imported from Italy are dyed red and placed parallel to each other, with Kevlar and carbon stripes at the bottom.
The XTR PARALLEL-FLEX specification is a board material exclusive to Japan.
It's not sold in California, so if you have one, it's unusual for foreigners to talk to you.
