i couldn’t believe how good the waves were yesterday morning. so good that i was speeding down there on my skateboard. couldn’t wait to get out in the ocean.
stoked got to jump on the jet ski and shot from the best seat in the ocean.
magic island with concrete jungle in the back.
Gavin Sutherland caught some of the best waves in the morning.
Shinpei Horiguchi got some nice sets too.
some guys i haven’t seen in my life flying high.
Gavin again on a nice turn.
gosh, i love photos like this because you can see the total commitment behind this turn. full rail surfing.
Shinpei on another good one.
this kid Kejiro Nishi got so many nice rides too.
the kid was ripping!
one of the other competitors asked me “who is that kid in yellow?” i said “the next japanese sensation.”
Haa Aikau flying high.
Takayuki Wakita also caught some of the best waves of the day. just perfect surfing and advancing this morning.
the big wave smile. if you ever met Wakita, you will love this guy.
