Ed note: this video was originally posted in 2018 but we find it no less relevant today. 

What does an idealistic day in the warmer months entail for you?

Fluttering offshore breeze? Well-spaced energy from a preferential angle? Spotless skies? Perhaps a friend or two to share with? 

I guess you could say that Mick Fanning and Jay Davies recent West Oz rendezvous ticks all boxes.

We haven’t seen Mr. W. Lightning on the west side for some time. It’s refreshing to see his take on a shallow shelf. The way he winds up his fade, before planting his foot with his signature under-the-lip-pump. Pure alchemy!

And Jay Davies, well, he’s invested years on this particular stretch and judging by his eagerness to hunt a ramp, holds no concerns for the barely concealed reef tickling his fins.

Take the next four minutes and forty-four seconds reflecting on your most recent summer session and withhold comparison for your own mental wellbeing!
