A mid winter day at the farm, no crowds, a few friends and some really good waves / All photos: Rambo Estrada
No greedy hornets buzzing all over this lineup. Nothing like an empty mid week session.
Mike Smith is a pretty sweet boss, he owns the clothing company RPM, any hint of this wave being on he'll round the staff up for a quick strike over in the boat.

Worth skipping work for?
Tully Farrell on the wave of the day
Kelly Peake following in his dad Richard's footsteps, one of the old school legends out there.
Alex Dive is always on the bombs
Sid West in the hole
Alex has a three to your one wave count, some might see he's a greedy little hornet but i swear waves just appear in front of him while he goes about his own way in the lineup
Mike Smith started RPM 18 years ago, imagine how many mid-week barrels the guy has had?
A rare left, this day was all about the rights
Alex on a sweet little inside nugget
Tully Farrell was the only goofy-footer in the line-up
Mike Smith filling his quota before heading back to work.
Only a couple of years ago Alex Dive was just another frothing grom in the line-up but now he's definitely one of the best guys over there.

Alex Dive was probably supposed to be at Polytech right here.
The infamous RPM boat, Mike ferrying the crew home. Like i said surfing is almost written into your contract if you work there, thats gotta be worth more than a few extra dollars in your salary!
