Like a fine French wine, La Graviere goes down smooth. When it's on, the famed beachie in southwest France is pure, unadulterated bliss. Punchy, fast peaks; yet unforgiving when navigated wrong. This was one of those magical days that happens only every so often at a sand-bottomed break. This was "la vie en vert," a day in the life of a green room.


This year's Da Hui Backdoor Shootout in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Duke Kahanamoku Invitational saw some solid conditions and was graced with some of the best swell to hit the North Shore all winter. Everyone was charging and there wasn't a single wave to be wasted.
