This is the shapely end to a local break that only goes on a very low tide with some south in the water.

One of the best surfs I had in Autumn of ‘07 was on an identical Selection shape. I seldom stray from the breaks in my backyard but in this case I had the occasion to be surfing some gorgeous head high, A-frame peaks on a lonely sandbar in the Newport area. I can’t imagine how fun The Rose Nouveau will surf with the added bonus of the bamboo “twang” coming into and out of turns.
