Yesterday the whole north shore was closed out so I drove out to Peahi aka Jaws and shot a few photos from the bluff. Most of the local big wave paddle in crew was out. Shane Dorian and Kai Lenny were the only two that I recognized since I spaced out my binoculars. This was arguably the heaviest day paddled in at Jaws so far! |

Recently the best pro and amateur wave sailors in the world gathered at Hookipa Beach Park to compete in the Aloha Classic wave sailing competition. The competition was extremely heavy day after day. |
|
Friday was one of the better surfing days that we've had so far this winter. |

The same day as my last post there was considerable action going down over on the north shore of Oahu. The Sunset leg of the Triple Crown was going off. The best pro surfers in the world battled it out heat after heat. Kelly Slater took the win in the final seconds of the final heat. Pipeline was Absolutely Ridiculously Awesome! Click on this link for some of that action. You wont be disappointed! magicseaweed.com/news/Black… |

I surfed Kanaha today. I found out that a SUP'er fell of his board in the line up and he landed on a 13' Tiger shark! There were still plenty of surfers out today and it was Big. I got some waves and got clobbered several times as well. After a two wave hold down you start to need a breath! Game on over here! |

Pipe Masters was on today, next call tomorrow 7:30 HST. |
