There is a group of Grandview surfers that takes a trip to Namotu each year. You will know them by the perma smiles they have from about May to December. This trip they came back with photos. Grandview local and good friend, Bob Houldin, was nice enough to share. I've never been but have had the pleasure of hearing all the stories. Someday I'll book my own trip and live it myself. Until then, I'll have to live through these. Enjoy.
Bob Holden enjoying a left in paradise. Bob moved to Leucadia in the 70's and has been a staple in the water ever since. You will know you're surfing with Bob when you hear a hoot from the outside and it continues to the sand. He gets the happiest local award for sure. Bob is always in a good mood and a pleasure to be in the water with.
Surfers Journal's newest employee, Ross Garrett, was on the trip.

Nice spit. Story goes it was triple over head most days.

A classic shot of the stoke you just can't help but feel for your friends when they get a great ride.
Another Grandview local Pete McRoskey enjoying himself. I surf with Pete all the time. He and Bob have been in Leucadia forever and have the place wired. They are also some of the nicest guys in the line up.
What the rest of us missed.
