Always Cabo Verde sessions just for beautiful waves from massive Ali Baba walls, Scary Curral Joel bombs and of course dreamy Ponta Preta days.

La Reunion for best adventure and culture mix plus scariest swim in with broken mast from a firing Etang Sale….I swear the Jaws music was playing on speaker. Obviously Maui; Peahi sessions just because of the pure adrenaline rush, concentration and determination just to even catch one of those waves. But surprisingly on Maui my favorite wave is Norrieagas on a big swell, in the memory banks I have a very memorable almost double over mast Thanks Giving session with Russ Farout, but then again S turns when it turns on, we had one EPIC light wind session I recount, oh and lest I forget La Perouse if you can catch a session there its dreamy (almost Cabo Verde style). Then there is Topocalma in Chile…..reeling Port tack walls and the local crew is just so awesome and fun to sail with. More recently I was hunting secret sessions up in the Pacific Northwest and found a sweet gem tucked away in Tofino on Vancouver Island Canada, needs a good storm to catch it but hands down it wins for scenery and wildness. Finally Gold Beach Jetty on the Oregon coast holds some fond memories for me again mostly because of the Oregon Coast crew that made those sessions memorable.
