good morning. 6:30am and it’s raining again. trade winds blowing and supposed to get stronger. the waves on the north shore dropped in the 2-4′ range. i hate to say it but yesterday was the day. if you missed it, you missed it. if you surfed it, you scored big time. i see a little small swell in town. chest high if you know where to look. it’s the 2nd day of the year and i’m going surfing all day again… see you in the water.. and wanted to say thanks to everybody for the new years cards and emails. sorry for my late response but another one of my new years resolutions was to stay off my computer as much as i can. i’ll try to get back to you all soon. have a beautiful day!!!
