Tuesday tubes: calmly slotted and P-pass envy

You know you're doing well when you can park off so casually in the barrel.  It's been said that the best guys make it look easy because they dont force anything.  Like Ika Ika here.  He's so good they named him twice. 

The photo comes from the Pohnpei Surf Club's blog.  And if you want to grow man-size tears into your keyboard, go take a look.  It's mostly shots like this from P-pass.  Captions are usually: Yeah, this guy got this wave.  But, there's like no-one else here now.  It's just him and his wife and the staff.  Then every now and then they're like:  Oh, it's flat at the moment.  So we went fishing.  And trekked to this waterfall. 

Pohnpei is over in Micronesia and so we don't get to hear too much about it on this side of the globe.  I don't recall seeing it pictured in a local mag, much less have I seen any local riders on it.  But, seriously: just look at it.  It's perfect - and I mean like not a drop out of place perfect from waist high to triple overhead.  And before you get back to work and start saving:  here's another pic if you're still not convinced.

Bastard.  I'm sure he's a real nice guy, but I dont care.  He's still a bastard as far as I'm concerned.
