Board-testing done right.

“We spent 10 days over in Fiji and lucked into back to back swells,” says filmmaker Kaius Potter, who shot and cut the above edit which features Soli Bailey, six Channel Islands models and some very good Cloudbreak. “The first swell was really clean and good wind and (Mitch) Crewsy, (Mitch) Coleborn, Stu Kennedy and the Vans US Team were floating about for that one. Then we endured a couple of down days for the second swell which was probably bigger than the first but windier, and Kelly (Slater), Davey Cathels, Leo (Fioravanti) and Kanoa (Igarashi) showed up for that one. Soli really stood out over both swells and turned some heads.” Given Soli’s relaxed mode at solid Cloudbreak, that isn’t surprising.
