good morning. 6:30am saturday morning. been watching the waves for 20 minutes and didn’t see a set yet. got 5 guys out at the big bowl so there must be some solid sets. everywhere is packed. i see 40 guys out at bowls and 60-70 guys out at the park already. sunny skies, light off shore winds, and a high surf advisory. i’m out of here…. oh, just seen an overhead set. see ya….
i went to the ala wai yacht club yesterday to check out my friend robbie. robbie is the port master at the ala wai harbor so he’s pretty much the man down there. he was showing me around the harbor and took me on a ride out to check the waves. robbie was once a photographer for the national football league, an x-marine, and has pretty much been there, done it all. he works with tony at faith surf school and is down at waikiki every day. a good family friend and a super cool guy…..
then we drove up and down the harbor checking out boats. i learned so much about boats yesterday. i think i’m ready to own a yacht…. haha…
anyway, i had my camera in my pocket so figure i’d use it to show you the waves. bowls was high tide so it wasn’t that good. i bet it’s going to be a lot better today… check out some waves from yesterday….
Ala Wai Harbor Cruzing….
Hawaii: Friday the 13th Surf Session….
good evening. paddled out to big rights this morning with a cam and took some action. the waves were kind of small but super fun. i got bored sitting in the channel so i held the camera strap with my teeth and caught a few waves taking video, well, trying to take video. had a hard time but still learning. can somebody give me some advice on how to shoot yourself? anyway, i did my best so check it out by clicking play on the photo below…
then this afternoon, i went on my friends boat to check out bowls. pulled up and a solid 4′ set came in. i think the waves are coming up and this swell is supposed to peak on sunday. i’m guessing solid and epic town for the next few days. surf/shoot. have a great evening and please drive safe. i’ve been seeing too many accidents recently… go slow….
Help find Lost Dog: Scrappy
good morning. 6:45am and looks like the waves came up a little. 10 guys out at rockpiles, 15 or so at bowls. the water looks kind of dirty at bowls. probably from the rain yesterday. it hasn’t rained here for a while so the rain water cleaned the streets, drains, and mountains. and where did that water go? yes, straight in the ala wai. and where does the ala wai meet the ocean? yes, straight at bowls. i ain’t going near there today…. oh, just seen a head high set but the conditions look like a little morning sickness. hopefully the trade winds kick in and clean things up. if your a longboarder, i would head to the north shore. i just seen a couple of guys riding some long perfect waist high rights at laniakea. anyway, i’m going surfing. have a nice day and see you in the water….
hey, everybody help!! there is a lost dog in the palolo valley neighborhood. scrappy was lost this past saturday and hasn’t gone home yet. he was sighted on sunday but when some good samaritan tried to grab him, scrappy ran away. scrappy is shy and runs away when somebody he doesn’t know tries to approach him. so the best thing to do is call if you see him. he needs his medication so if you see him, please call 382-2620 asap. scrappy, go home….
**and don’t mind the blue pen scribble. some 6 year old girl wanted to help so she added in more information…. i think the bottom translate means “dog is a scardycat”..
