The drone footage is amazing. This has to be one of your best videos ever. Nice job saving the little turtle.

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Glad you enjoyed it! Haha we couldn’t believe the turtle was hiding under the front tire 😅

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

@@Lakey_Peterson He was getting some shade and chill vibes until he found some water or maybe lost and didn't want to get cooked by the Sun... There was a turtle in the street where I live in Virginia when I drove around it almost crushing it. Cars just kept nearly missing crushing it. It kept going inside its shell hoping not to get crushed by The Cars because it couldn't get up a median separating it from the other side of the road where the water was. I couldn't let little heavy guy get killed so I parked in a random parking lot nearby and scooped him up and put him in the grass back in nature where he found water on a 90° day... Thankfully I got to him in time!!! That's cool you guys helped the wild turtle 🐢 out!!!! We're humans and if we don't look out for the animal's and then nobody will... ✌ 🏄 ✌

[@promogul]

More of this format videos please! Great mix of surfing, bts, travel, fellow surfers hanging out of the water.

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Glad you enjoyed this video 🙌😊

[@williamcastillo9579]

Hola primer video tuyo que veo soy de El Salvador y vivo en Atlanta Georgia me da mucho gusto que visiten el país me gusta mucho ese deporte🖐

[@babypapaya8229]

What an amazing point break. Looks like so much fun ❤

[@Lakey_Peterson]

It really is!

[@marevs]

It is a treasure for sure!

[@recinosu]

I LOVE HOW YOU GUYS ENJOY MY BEAUTIFUL EL SALVADOR.

[@Lakey_Peterson]

We loved it 💙🙌

[@timwannell6477]

Looks like you had an amazing time. Your surf skills are incredible. Personally, I feel the whole sporting aspect of surfing kinda rips away the spirit of it. It’s literally breaking down an art into something quantitative- which is a kill joy for me. You’re a beast on the water 🤙

[@MauiMary]

You keep bringing it Lakey🌊🏄‍♀️Mahalo, and Aloha🌺🌈

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Thanks 😊

[@Weider.Lizama]

Wonderful video, El Salvador definitely need more people like you visiting the little country. EL PULGARCITO DE AMÉRICA.

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Very amazing place!

[@Weider.Lizama]

@Lakey_Peterson thank you. You're amazing surfing.

[@dougcastel8768]

[@ernestoclaros-jn9vf]

Awesome video I’m glad u guys have fun and come back again

[@garthprice7153]

another epic video !!! El salvador has some amazing waves...both you and thomas are shredding hard besides the others..best luck in the upcoming jeffreys bay contest,im in south africa further north in the transkei,a place called mdumbi which has two great point breaks,lwandile and mdumbi

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Thanks so much! Ahh we’ve heard all about the transkei! Sounds like an amazing place 👌🙌

[@garthprice7153]

@Lakey_Peterson it really is one of the very few over developed places in the world and both super tranquil and safe..it's ocean is still teaming with wildlife .new Zealands coastline is much like here but obviously it's a first world continent and brrr brrr too cold..anyhow keep sharing your stoke on your love of the ocean and shredding those waves apart 😉

[@user-vf6bh3rb1v]

Amazing country .l love it❤❤❤

[@Lakey_Peterson]

It really is!

Hey #7. Thank you. For sharing all the beauty out there . Have a .blast out there on thaw waves.. Surfer's have a unique soul.. Stay. Safe 😉

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Thank you! You too!

[@luissanchez-uu4ks]

Nice waves in El Salvador

[@Lakey_Peterson]

There is indeed ⚡️

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

@6:43 so crucial the different professional ladies talking about maneuvers just going to do what. So funny to hear Johane say that ahe is old school and Lakey and her agree to let the new generation take care of the rest... So cool getting to see behind the scenes of professional tour. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@Lakey_Peterson]

So glad you enjoyed the video 🙌😊

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

The video filming and editing starting to look like legit mini little movies, so super sweet awesome!!! I'm so glad you guys started the channel because you guys show stuff that we would never get to see watching the regular WSL page. Now other professional surfers are creating videos for their channels which makes it even more epic to get the full """Shebang""" of the professional competitor surf life and free surfing... Team Lakey and husband, you guys rock rock like the music artist Fergi from the Black Eye Peas says in her songs!!!! Please keep the content coming!!!!! P.S. THXXX GUYYYS FOR SHARINGGG!!! HAPPY SURFING FROM VB/VIRGINIA BEACH!!!!! ✌ 🌞🌴 🏄 🌴 🌞 ✌

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Ahhh thanks so much. So psyched your enjoying the content. Hope your scoring waves in VB

[@noahthompson6526]

One of the best videos yet !good luck at Jbay 💪💪

Wow such amazing skills!! I wish I knew how to surf. Great video !!! 🎉

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Thanks so much!

[@bernardofidalgo1808]

Been following your career for years and absolutely love your surf. This year, it looked, to me, that your boards looked, at times, very stiff. Didn't feel the same spring out of the more vertical maneuvers and couldn't see your rail game engaging as clean as usual. Don't know if you are nursing some kind of an injury. It looks like your flow is completely back. The first segment looks insane. Great job!

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Ahhh thanks ! Def have dialled my workouts and equipment in better the second half of this year 🙌

[@OnlyHumanFeelings]

😎 Good Job! Thanks for getting me out of a pickle there, with the pickle. Open and always learning, you guys are "All Class" by the way ;~) Congrats

[@skatearmyy]

Great Editing, Would have liked you guys to have taken a roll through the backyard bowl, Looked Rad. Typical WSL event curse : Great Waves Right Before the comp.🤣Hope J Bay Holds Out, Got you on My fantasy surf for the event. 🏄‍♀⚡🤘

❤ hi j bay corona champ champ, i hope you and tom tom are doing well :) the surf footage, especially the birds eye (but your comp footage as well) looks great, and you are ripping in what looks like top form. graceful, powerful, aggressive, fluid. your arms and shoulder posture and movement, especially throughout your big sweeping cutbacks and gouging top turns looks so good, driving, and controlled, and with more power. your analysis and work on that is evident, as you are looking styled and dialed. tom is also quite the aussie powered ripper, isn't he? of course he is, he is married to champ champ :) the pink railed CIs (and blue ones too, but more so pink), look great in wax treatment, and even better under your feet. whatever shapes / dimensions those are, look great, fast, responsive, and thick enough to keep you moving and driving, yet still short and agile. it gives me even more hope that our pink 6'6" will be perfect in all conditions :) be good, keep ripping, stay fit, and please avoid sketchy helicopters :)
