i can't tell if its because we've had a terrible summer/fall for surfing or its just the fact that this winter is super consistent but I'd day so far this winter is making up for lack of waves we have had. It seems as if every 4-6 days we have a new swell movin' in and thats way better then the past two seasons have been. I think this winter is gonna be one for the books.. hopefully she keeps it up
