Big South Pacific Swell Hits Tahiti….

good morning. waves going off in the country. i’m out there!!! see ya…

and how about those warriors? yeah!!! we won!!! only by 7 points but we’ll take it…. the stadium was sold out last night. packed and crazy… just like how the north shore is now. packed and crazy…. aloha…
