This sequence was taken from my recent trip to S. America. My girl’s been studying abroad down there for a few months so I headed down for some lovin’ and long lefts. I purposefully didn’t bring any camera equipment except for a little HD Go Pro camera. The morning of what was supposedly the swell of the season, my girlfriend and I woke up before dawn and navigated the rocks to empty 6-8 foot spinning lefts. For forty-five minutes we shared sunrise lefts. Eventually the pack paddled out and the camera fogged up, so I ditched the head rig and shared perfect waves with the locals all day. I’m stoked to have these opening rides recorded, it was a session I’ll never forget…

    Cyrus thankyou for sharing that with all of us hodads.

    Being in love and scoring those waves, sounds like a peak experience man and the visions are timeless.

    You are too kind to share it with the World.

    This was such a beautiful video. I am a dawn patroller and so I understand the beauty of watching the sunrise while being out in the water (lack of crowds and glassy conditions are also a plus!). Thank you for sharing. Where was this in S. America?
