Dillon Perillo, cleaning the dirt, Hawaii

“It was dark and dirty on the North Shore today,” says photog Ryan Miller from Hawaii. “Look at those white caps out the back. Strong trade winds chopped up the swell quite a bit though, which made for lots and lots of waves and lots and lots of opportunities.” See! The clouds have silver lining! Dillon Perillo, pictured here, just made the jump to the North Shore from California a coupla days ago. “He was giving it hell out at Rockies today,” continues Miller. “With a million waves coming through it was perfect to try and practice your big backside finners.”
