We're back to the gladiator pit that is Rielly's and two legends charging it.

012 - Adrian Fernandez De Valderama

Adrian charged this day (see the shot below), he had literally come to island forms he Basque Country having just recovered from a broken ankle. It took it easy on the fun surf days leading up to this session, just so he could unleash, and unleash he did.
