It seems like there was a week in July, 2018 when everywhere in the world had really good waves. Puerto Escondido was maxing while, on the other side of Earth, Teahupo’o heaved. But with the largest swell in recorded history hitting Indonesia last month, the double-ups that steamrolled through Nias stole the show. It wasn’t all organic hammers though-the synthetic swells engineered at the pool in Waco, Texas continued to foster the fast-paced progression of technical above-the-lip surfing.
