good evening. north shore 2′ in the morning, 10′ + by this afternoon. another strong ground swell and these waves should be lasting for a while. strong winds but nobody is complaining. i seen guys getting huge barrels this evening at pipe. even town had some waves this evening. chest high and perfect off shore. but everywhere looking freakin cold… hope you had a great day and didn’t catch a cold. seems like everybody is getting sick recently. including me. maybe because of the cold weather??? wanna know what i did all afternoon? i was on the phone with blackberry support trying to figure out how to post a blog from my phone. getting transfered and transfered to different departments with no clear answers. frustrated? yup. do i like my new phone? no. i feel like throwing it off a mountain. anybody know how to fix this problem? if you do, please help!! i hate high tech stuff. and i especially hate trying to learn about it. ahhhh…. i’m not touching my phone for the next few days and just going to focus on surfing. that’s a much better life… anyway, keep warm and eat healthy…. have a nice evening….

oh, wanted to say hello to yoshi and his staff at latina in osaka!!! hope to see you in april….
**last, remember i told you that don king sent me a clip from back in the day? this was backdoor i think 10 years ago. i remember don king swimming around on a pretty big day with his huge movie camera. i remember getting a wave and hooking up with him. i didn’t know if he got it or not because i haven’t heard anything. well, until last week. don got it and i’m freakin stoked… check it out. and let me just say this, “old footage never dies”.. i feel like the luckiest person on earth. thank you don king for capturing a barrel that i will never ever forget….

THIS IS A COOL PHOTO….

good morning. bouy 1 up to 10 feet 19 seconds. wow!!! huge north/west swell on the way. right now it’s 2-3′ but expect 10′ by evening. be careful and surf safe. town still has some knee/waist high sets at bowls. surf for everybody today. enjoy….

grommet surfboards are so hard to find these days. and shapers spend more time than normal shaping them. my nephews are trying to get rid of old boards to make way for new ones. this is a 5’3 x 17 1/4 x 2″ element model thruster shaped by eric arakawa. $350 and it’s yours…..

no dings and pretty good condition….

future fins system but this board doesn’t come with the fins…
