That was one of the best heats in my life, claimed Ho. The color of the wave was amazing and I don't ever get stressed out here. This is my fifth time here and I feel right at home. I caught some great waves today, conditions were classic with incredible tubes and Noronha is already one of my favorite places to surf, along with Hawaii and West Australia. ASP/Smorigo
