Cloudbreak – Koa Smith

Cloudbreak – Koa Smith

When Cloud Break turns on its one of the dreams of a surfer and we scored multiple days and many conditions of this mythical beast! From oil glass to pumping off shore winds! Watch as I take you along the ride with my POV visions in some of the shallowest reef and clearest water! As the swell arrived we started getting caught in the wave impact zone, breaking boards and having to walk barefoot over the razor sharp reef! This trip will be burnt into my memory forever! - Koa Smith
