Aloha to North Shore’s Bob Kaleikau

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Aloha, surfers! The marathon continues with Wednesday’s swell pushing in some advisory waves (15 feet crest to trough) for the North Shore. There are more below-advisory NW swells coming Sunday and Monday.

A perfect moment for Kelly Slater - again

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Aloha, surfers and beachgoers! The beautiful ride continues through this weekend into next week. The weather and surf have been amazing. For more than two weeks we get surf galore and mostly light trades and clear, dry skies.

Swell ‘08, amazing Moore and Irons’ comeback

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Aloha, surfers and beachgoers! 2008 is great ... in fact, that seems like an understatement. I dare you to count the number of swells we’ve had. OK, I’ll do it for you - 18! Not including the outof-season 4-foot south we just had. Not including any trade wind swells, as well. I’m going to claim it for Hawaii - no ka oi!

Getting some love in Valentine’s surf

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Howzit, surfers!

Rolling past the middle of February was sweet. I mean, how many Valentines treat you to 20-foot waves? There was plenty romancing and dancing out in the deep blue. Waimea Bay was just as pretty as it gets

A BIG time for the North Shore

Friday, February 15th, 2008

The waves are high rockin’ and rollin’! In fact, BIG Thursday cracks the outer reefs and the bay. We have warnings posted and wave warriors panting. This storm should be one of the biggest of the season. There should be many more above advisory NW swells through February. 

Monster Pro, beach access and Turtle Bay

Aloha, surfers and free beach accessors,
Wow, what poor weather, wind and waves we had earlier this week. The dirty water runoff kept many ocean-going folks out for the count, especially for Kauai and Hawaii.

January swells, Pipe champs and bravo Bethany

Friday, February 1st, 2008

There went January ... and what a January it was! I’ll measure it up against almost anywhere in the world. Those who think it wasn’t great are greatly spoiled. The North Shore averaged about 6- to 8-foot local scale. Most surfers in the world would drool for their local break to average double to triple overhead. 

What’s coming down the Pipe

Friday, January 25th, 2008

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).

Surfing more spots

Friday, January 4th, 2008

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.

Paddling into a swell 2008

Friday, December 28th, 2007

Happy Hollow Days, surfers! As we close out 2007 and head into 2008, there are still waves and contests galore. Yes, the biggest surfing event in the world (Vans Triple Crown) is over, but the waves keep rolling. And yes, competition has quieted down,
