Mark Occhilupo Retires..

278

good windy cold saturday morning. the winds backed down a little but still blowing hard. waves way down from yesterday. north shore looks 1′ if your lucky. no pipe masters today. town has knee/waist high waves. 6 guys out at rockpiles and 3 at bowls. the waves will me small for few days so get use to it. have a nice day and see you in the water…

mark “occy” occhilupo surfed his final heat as a WCT surfer today at pipe. he’s 41 years old and has accomplished so many things in his surfing career. what a legend….

this is sugar cane. when we were kids, we use to ride our bikes and cut through the sugar cane fields on the north shore. all i remember was sugar cane and pineapple fields. those were the days. now? nothing… sugar went out of business as well as pineapples. that sucks. now there’s all weeds in the once beautiful landscape views of the north shore. what next? hotels? i don’t want to be around to see that. that would kill me….

tokura-san took this photo in the philippines. i would be sitting on my bed every night working. i still hate the person who invented the computer. this machine took most of my life away. i don’t even have time for my daily afternoon nap anymore….
**anyway, hold on to your hats and get ready for 3 more super windy days in hawaii….
