For the last two weeks, it's been non-stop east wind, that screws up every surf spot on the east side of Okinawa... Well, today it stopped, and we had a 2 meter swell running at about 12 seconds with very little wind. Unfortunately, there's a new island that's formed directly east of us, just south of South Iwo-jima, and a huge pumice raft has arrived from the volcano. Conditions were great, but a few "waiting periods," where big rafts of pumice would float through the lineup. Some serious big floating rocks that could do serious damage to a board
