Best Surfing Experience: Pacific Palms again, walking down to an empty beach, 5ft and glassy, surfing a left all along the beach with the sun coming out from behind a cloud and a single dolphin leaping out of a wave. Tears to your eyes. Surfed for hours in boardies (not a pretty sight), had a steak sandwich and checked my phone messages to see we had beaten Finland 2-0!
