New HD stock footage of monster north shore waves
Friday, July 17th, 2009
Artbeats took a trip to Hawaii over the winter with a Red HD camera and shot some great footage of monster waves crashing on the north shore.
Unlike the awesome Jamie O’Brian clips I talked about a few months ago, there’s no surfers in the footage, but it’s still memorizing to watch these waves in such crystal clear slow motion.
Tropical storm Carlos = good south swell on the way
Friday, July 17th, 2009
As reported by the Examiner, tropical storm Carlos is fizzling out, which means Hawaii will likely not be hit by the storm, but the swell from it will.
We may see overhead south swell come late next week as a result. Lets keep our fingers crossed to keep this epic south summer rolling along.
In the meantime, there is still some decent shoulder-high swell to enjoy on the south shores, but you may need to be patient for them.
