Mid-tide instead of low tide, and why kick out when you can continue all the way to Mushroom Rock?

I love the G, seems long time now, But Kai's so entertaining & his mastery over massive waves & huge surf is unique Kelly gives him a fair assessment, Onya G, I dig Smith's, J boys, big Larry even few crazy S.Euro crew but Kai's always killed the monsters, everywhere.! Some are just hypnotic
