P Coe visits from Maui and the boys score barrels in Central Florida.

Aloha, It’s not often that your friend from childhood gets a chance to fly back from Maui to Florida and the surf gods allow the boys to get slotted  in Central Florida.

Thank you Mother O for coming through strong with this well-timed ground swell.

THIS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH CHANCE…(80 PERCENT)…OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.  INTERESTS IN THE LESSER ANTILLES…THE VIRGIN ISLANDS…AND PUERTO RICO SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS DISTURBANCE.
