Got the culture results and it's a Strep infection. Antibiotics seems to be working, but very slowly, it's going to be a while. So I decided to start posting again, it will be a little later than usual though and most likely no shots of the day.

Same days ago, Maui's partially blind surfer Aaron Paulk sent me an email saying:

Just back from a documentary shoot in Telo Islands in Indo called The Blind Sea.  Figure it could be a good photo to share on flat days. 💪🏼 We are seeking sponsorships for our first Pro Adaptive Tour which started this year brining adaptive surfing into a pro tour. Me Josh Bogle, Faith Lenox, and Big Foot are all on tour   Appreciate any shout outs or support

Decent numbers at the buoys. Below are the maps of July 17 through 18. The source of the 14-15s energy could be either the angular spreading fetch east of New Zealand highlighted in blue on the first map and/or the direct aim one SSE of New Zealand highlighted in red on the second one
