Eddie, Hayato, and Hiroko….


with all the hype with “WILL EDDIE GO?”, here’s what i think. the massive swell that was heading our way last week isn’t going to be as big as expected. last week, they were forecasting 40′ hawaiian scale surf. yes, meaning, closing out waimea bay. now, it’s downgraded and forecasted to be 20′ tomorrow. as for the contest, they need at least 20′ surf so if everything goes as expected, the contest will be on! the great news is it will peak tomorrow morning making for some excellent huge surf in perfect conditions. so if i were to guess, yes, EDDIE WILL GO!!!

remember hayato’s ulua he speared the other day? well, i caught it all on video. well, caught most of it. i’m guarding the back door while hayato is going in the front door. the ulua is on the left side of the hole. what happened? stay tuned….

hey, wanted to welcome Hiroko Taniuchi to our family of official bloggers at go-naminori!!! hiroko-san has been shooting for years and years and has photos that nobody else has. stay tuned for amazing surf photography on her blog and follow her along while she’s in hawaii. thank you hiroko-san and see you on the north shore!!!
