Restaurants is a perfect wave, Parkinson said. It has a really good line to it and when you come over a set and see next one, you get butterflies when a good one is coming. I was looking for the barrels out there in that heat, but the bigger ones were chattery and bumpy. Youve really got to find the medium sized waves out there. If you get the medium one you can get nice long drainers. ASP/ Kirstin
