Yadin Nicol, homeland values at North Point, WA

Yadin Nicol may live in California, but he is heart and soul Western Australia. And, he’s currently staying there for a month. This was captured the second day of his trip. There’s been waves every day, Yades is vibing on home soil and salt and, according to Andrew Schoener, whose image-capturing device this frame was collected from, “he’s surfing better than ever.” Hard not to be in the zone when there’s the slightest onshore breeze, a south swell and only a handful of guys out, on a day like this.
