BABYFACE'S CHANGE | By Nicolás Meire

Then I began to think about all the nice waves that I surfed last year; Pushbuttom, Garb, Babyface... Babyface! That wave was really close to Keenerville, and when we began to paddle to McCoys I had a face of happiness waiting to surf the incredible wave of Babyface. But when I came to McCoys I had a disappointment... Babyface had disappeared! Under Horseshoe was literally nothing, just a couple of small waves. Then I knew that Babyface only appear when water is low. That had a good part, that new waves like Aspen or Infinity Wave had appeared, but other good waves like Pushbuttom or Garb had disappeared. But on the first week, water began to drop, and Babyface began to appear. It was a small wave , and it was hard to do tricks like spins because you always got flushed out of the wave. But in the next few days, water droped more, and the fun Babyface that I knew from last year appeared. That wave was perfect to do Spins, Roamhouses, Blunts and maybe some Air Screws. But in the next days something happened that i didn't expect; Water droped more, more than last year, and Babyface got a lot bigger. And it wasn't more Babyface. It was more like a "Garb 2.0". When I was in the wave, i was totally out of control, and for me, it was more difficult to do tricks, but I know that for other people it is much easier.
I Just want to say that it is just amazing how much a wave can change it 2 weeks.
