I just recently returned from a month-long surf trip to San Clemente, California.
TEAM Luvsurf's Kei Kobayashi introduces the latest surf video filmed in Nicaragua.

Nicaragua is such a tropical place.

It goes into the barrel and comes out all the time.

Is it the quality of the waves? The speed is really high.

Maybe because he's surfing in board shorts, he's light and his air is high and he spins quickly.

It was a great practice to surf in a place with good waves.

To barrel in with a backhand grab rail, you need to be able to read the timing with the wave.
At this age, you've already learned it.

And then the layback huck turn in the closeout section! That's amazing.

I improved my skills by doing upswings and accelerating inside the tube.
Now, let's take a look at how much you've improved.
