Alex Gray at Todos Santos on Surfline

Alex Gray has been charging all winter long. From Hawaii to back home in California, the kid has been everywhere where there are waves this epic El Nino winter. Waimea, Phantoms, unnamed Bay near his house, south bay jetties, unnamed islands off the California coast and most recently Todos Santos. Alex nabbed some of the biggest and best bombs of the day at an all-star session at Todos Santos with big wave legends like Shane Dorian, Greg Long and Dave Wassel . Alex made a last minute decision to head to Todos and grabbed good friend Benji Weatherly and rode the ski all the way out to surf Todos for his first tinme. Some of the shots are on Surfline. Go to www.surfline.com and checkout Alex and other all-star sessions with Body Glove team riders up and down the California coast.
