Photo of the Day: Yesterday, Mexico's premier big-wave break granted local standouts (like @marcialmonreal here) and visiting hellmen clean conditions and plenty airplane-hanger-sized tubes to warm-up on before the Puerto Escondido Cup kicked off today.

Due to Tropical Storm Barry stirring in the Gulf of Mexico this week, this typically dormant break turned on, providing a few lucky Florida locals with a 1/4 mile runner to play with. Photo: @alex.dantin #SURFERmagazine

@chippawilson’s quiver is as diverse and unique as his bag of aerial tricks. In the latest episode of "Quivers", Wilson breaks down each of his go-to sleds, including everything from a standard thruster to a 42” boogie. Live in our link in bio. Video: @mallmic #SURFERmagazine

Does it get any better than having a few fun boards to play with at a tubing, warm-watered right point? Just ask @gato_son, pictured here in Mainland Mexico recently. Shot by @laserwolf.laserwolf in Mainland Mexico. #SURFERmagazine
