Mick Fanning makes a surprise appearance and gets a couple nugs but Baron (front page) kinda owns the morning tearing up the biggest and best waves…

Jeff Hubbard, Matahi Drollet and Josh Moniz also throw down tracks on this big and burly morning at Haleiwa on Christmas Eve.

I paddled out for an early morning session…to my surprise White Lighting was out! It was sic surfing with one of the Goats…after about an hour and 6 or 7 waves I came in to film a few waves of Mick.

Baron and Matahi were paddling out as i came in so it was a fun uncrowded session to film, with Baron’s experience at Haleiwa showing in punchy and challenging conditions.
