Aloha surfers and beachgoers, It’s a BIG Happy New Year; there are more waves rolling than can be ridden. Waimea Bay has cracked five days, and the outer reefs even more than that. Since New Year’s Day the North Shore has averaged over 8 feet (triple-plus overhead).

Whoa, where’d 2007 go? Most surfers like speed, but this is ridiculous. It reminds me of those periods when you surf a lot every day for a long stretch and the days blend into one big barrel. Our lives are busy and blessed,so I guess that’s why time flies by.
