Lower Trestles displays the talents of international surfers on regular basis. The world’s best sufers flock there annually and you can spot the best surfers of today exemplifying the highest performance in the evolution of the sport. It also inhabits the likes of legends brought up in the area, such as Herbie Fletcher. Herbie and I became close friends through surfing, our interest in art, and together and we’ve been making it happen since day one.
To take off on a wave with Herbie Fletcher is incredible. The intensity he drills into the ride while sharing the flow of water behind you, becomes tremendously apparent when you take into account the speed he maintains while noseriding through un-makeable sections. I’ve had the privilege to ride numerous waves with Herbie now, and ever since then, I’ve overcome any fear of riding a wave beside someone flying through sections on the nose. The best feeling in the world is to get a good clean hang ten, but when accompanied by one of your life-long mentors on the nose beside you, it makes for an even better ride. Some of my all-time most memorable waves are stored away in my mental files and I’ll never forget the rush that was involved in them.
