good morning. 4:30am and north shore bound. have a nice day…
**turned on the news last night and seen todd doing an interview after being attacked by a shark at crouching lion. yeah, crouching lion. the same crouching lion i’ve surfed many times, took my japanese friends to surf many times, and also the same crouching lion i dove many times. makes you really think. shit, it could have been anybody. then they closed laniakea and chuns yesterday because of a big tiger shark in the area. then they closed a few beaches on the big island because of sharks. what? is it breeding season? you know, experts say that the chances of an average person being attacked by a shark is one in millions. but these experts don’t factor in that us surfers and divers spend most of our lives in the ocean so the odds are much higher. yeah, the chance of a tourist that swims in waikiki once a year chances are slim, but for us? much more… makes me think. makes me really think….
i took this photo of todd murashige in the finals at the surf into summer contest at bowls a few months ago. i think he won it. i hope he recovers soon. ganbatte todd….
and last, wanted to say what’s up to reyton from kauai. here he is dropping in on an outer reef on the south shore of kauai. reyton, surf safe and watch out for the sharks out there….
