JP: By 9 a.m. Robby and myself were on the water and by 9:30 the helicopter had arrived and we were already shooting by ourselves with perfect waves and sunshine. I started to get a bit aggressive with the conditions and began to wipe out too much, each time having to swim to the inside to get my equipment, which meant burning precious, expensive helicopter time. I’d told Robby earlier that morning when we were rigging the gear on the beach not to get too radical when the helicopter was here as they cost so much money to rent and we wanted to get our money’s worth – and here I was, doing the exact opposite of what I told him not to do. I swam in the water as I watched Robby have one sick wave after the other, getting more and more pissed with myself for not listening to my own advice.
