…and maybe you recognize the stance, even the spot, quite a bit different now, and changing as we speak. The shot was taken by Archie’s friend, and mine, Stephen Davis, making use of his water housing.

While a favorite surfing spot recovers from over a hundred years of being restrained, Archie, hopefully, is moving toward recovery. Steve and I, and some of Archie’s many other friends (not all at once) are waiting and ready to slide a few sparkly rollers with him. Again, not like a party wave, but, after a ride, watching from this very angle, maybe hooting just enough to embarrass him.
