We're stopping at Ezra Sitt's place across from Sunset, home of Kid Peligro's North Shore Jiu Jitsu gym, which trains a number of pros including John John Florence, Leo Fioravanti, Koa Smith, and Finn McGill among others.

The daily schedule starts with cereal bars, bananas, hydration and a bike patrol through all the breaks on the North Shore, and is generally surfing in the morning at Rocky Point or Pipeline, a break for lunch, rest and physical training and surfing in the afternoon at Velzyland or Haleiwa.

Always having some secret spot, or not so secret  , but less crowded as an option.

In addition to studying and tutoring online with her support teacher to stay up to date with school when she returns.
