For most visiting surfers, these small surf days in-between legit North Shore winter swell action are mostly met with some sense of relief.

I’m not going to die today, being the general thinking.

Sunny, warm and clear, and waves that still pack a hell of a punch, small days on the NS are truly one of surfing’s sublime experiences.

How many days do you think John and his bros have had just like this one?

Enjoy.
