Yellow Fin Surf Club Reports 'Exceptional' Three-Foot Peeler

The trade winds provided a gentle gift to the Yellow Fin Surf Club this morning at the reef break. While the mainland might look for 'monsters', Coconut Bay remains a sanctuary for the 'perfectly lazy' wave. The three-foot peelers were so consistent they were described by club members as "the closest thing to a moving walkway the ocean provides."

Tiki Tim of the Tattoo Emporium was among the first in the water. "It was the kind of morning where you don't even have to think," Tim said later, while rinsing his board outside his shop on The Strand. "The wave does all the work. You just stand there and look at the horizon." Tim managed to catch a sixty-yard ride, a feat made more impressive by the fact he never once lost his sunglasses.

The club has noted that the conditions are likely to hold through the weekend, provided the wind doesn't get any more ambitious than it already is.
