I owe you guys apologies.
On April 4 this year, I posted this photo with the following introduction: "Facebook memories brought back this picture I posted on April 1st
2013. It's a very popular Maui spot that doesn't often look that
good. Try to guess it, I'll post it tomorrow".
I guess I didn't notice the date. Turns out that it was an
April's fool that I posted to fool my Facebook friends and that
hit me back 8 years later! In fact, I just found the post that
revealed the truth: it was Cloudbreak.
Only immediately after that, I realized that Middles could never
look like that. Even if a miracle swell happens and gives the wave
that perfect of a shape and lenght, the water on the inside would
still never look like that. The camera angle is quite improbable
too. And, most importantly, if I was lucky enough to be there to
witness the miracle, why in the world I wouldn't remember surfing
it?!
I do remember the Cloudbreak sessions though. It was my first time there
and I was lucky to get it head high the first day, head and a half the
second and double overhead the third.
