good morning on this windy windy tuesday morning. gosh, it’s so windy and raining hard outside my house right now. i don’t want to go anywhere. the waves on the north shore came up in the 3-5′ range and still on the rise. the conditions are pretty stormy and nobody is out at pipe now. they are on standby for the monster energy pro for a 9am start. i don’t think they have a choice but to run it because the forecast ain’t looking too good. got things to do today so probably go for a session later at diamond head. should be good again. anyway, have a nice day and watch out for things flying around outside…. bye bye
somebody emailed me and asked about nagigia island. it’s a short flight out of nadi international airport in fiji. when i went there, we took the boat from nadi and went to tavarua first on the way out to kandavu island. look up at the photo and you can see where we pulled in to anchor our boat. from our boat, a small dingy shuttled back and forth to the resort. check out the room i stayed in. it was brand new and we were the first ones ever to stay there. out the back is the left called king kong. here is my take on this island. if your looking for an easy wave, your going to the wrong place. king kong’s jacks up and is pretty shallow. so not a good call for beginners. and the winds are blowing all day long so don’t expect mentawai conditions. as for the island, killer. nice little island to hang out but remember to take a lot of books because there is nothing to do. personally, i wouldn’t go back there again because it ain’t a cheap trip and the main point is a left. but to dive, maybe… haha… look how clean the water is. it’s like that everyday and out the back is a really famous diving spot. or if you want to catch big fish, take your fishing pole and a lot of lures because it’s loaded with big fish…. and last, if you go there, expect to drink the most potent kava around. oh, and don’t expect to surf on sunday, even if the waves are going off. sunday is church day and if you surf, the chief will get pissed off and cut your head off… nah. just joking… but you really can’t surf on sundays…. hope that helped….
and last, check out my cute little nephew joshua. this was last year at the pipe masters. gosh how fast kids grow up….
