3-4ft clean good surf. They call a lay day because the incoming swell is going to be huge.

[surf doc]

I'll take 3-4ft glassy any day

[surf patrol]

Me too - I'd be taking the lay day on the 12-15ft day at Teahupo'o, not the 3 ft day

Super excited about the swell picking up.
got my computer ready, some brews chilled and I'm ready for a night of Tahiten bombs!

[surf patrol]

It's quite exciting really. Layday, swells building, layday, swells coming, layday, big swells coming.
It just better deliver!

[surf doc]

Wow I hope you guys are watching this. Great entertainment, truly amazing athletes!

Here's some highlights.

Saturday morning on live streaming, Kelly Slater said Maya Gabeira nearly drowned after wiping out in the tow-in competition. Can't find any info about that. Can anyone direct me to some news or a description?

I can't seem to find a report of that, but this was posted on Maya's facebook page.

Plenty of heroic waves and carnage from yesterday's historic tow session at Teahupo'o, including EZIA-trained athlete Maya Gabeira take 6 set waves on the head on dry reef. Thankfully just received texts from Maya saying she's okay and already amping for the next huge swell!!!!

Surfline have a great feature on the tow in day, stills and video.
