Our Ocean, Land and Sky
Rated 5.0 Stars
There's a lot about Hawaii that annoys us; insane traffic, escalating crime rates, the cost of living, overcrowded everything, homelessness, rising property taxes, etc. But as far as climate and culture go, we're all so very fortunate to live here... very fortunate. More »

Kauai Surfer Girls Rock WQS Surf Tour
A blog is a blog is a blog. The word comes up misspelled but the idea is to write some crazy extreme mostly logical banter about what bugs ya mind! Well I am full of that lately but let's start with happy news. I feel proud to say one of our Hawaii surfer girls is on top of the WQS heap making a charge for getting on the World Tour of Surfing.

'Tis the Season
The seasons are changing in the surfing world - as the North Pacific goes quiet, the competitions go from heavy waves to heavy paddling. SUP and paddleboard racing are bigger than ever. But that's not to say there's no heavy waves out there; the Billabong Pro Tahiti starts next week, located at one of the heaviest waves in the world, Teahupo'o. More »

Something to Ride
Sometimes April can be really good. Last year we had a couple big swells during April and even a 10-12 ridable day at Pipe. This year in April we had lots of waves, but nothing extradordinary on the Northshore. More »

Surf Quake
Rated 5.0 Stars
Consistent surf throughout the whole month of October left surfers pretty satisfied. In the beginning of the month you were excited to see a 4 foot wave and by the end of the month you were pumping it. More »

Turbulence at Turtle Bay
On March 17, 2007, about 200 people representing various local groups gathered in a peaceful demonstration at the Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore. The loose coalition was unified by the collective concern for an upcoming development by Kuilima Resort Company, an affiliate of Oaktree Capital Management, LLC (a self-proclaimed "vulture capital" company).

Wiser Watermen
The idea behind the "Stand Strong" Ku Ikaika Stand-Up Surfing Challenge was wise in many ways. We raised the awareness of stand-up paddle surfing around the globe. The West Side Junior Lifeguard Program received a $4,000 check to continue their important work. And, a bit more selfishly, the invited contestants got to stand-up surf Makaha Point all day with only a handful of guys in the water! More »

Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Rated 5.0 Stars
There is a Hawaii we know. Right now we are still struggling to get it back. The good news is that there were some kind of ridable waves almost everyday this month on the Northshore. They weren't great waves, but they were waves. More »

Growing Old, Acting Young
This past year, my loving wife threw me a Yakudoshi party, a traditional Japanese celebration of a man's 41st birthday (more a local Hawaii custom nowadays). Legend has it that this is a year of danger for men, when their bodies start to show their age and change for the worse. Well, it seems that this legend may be legit. More »

Restart
Rated 5.0 Stars
Did you ever play a video game and start out so bad you just hit the restart button, then you did it again and again and again until you finally got a good rhythm going in the game? I was earnestly seeking that red button all winter; as each month came I thought, this will be it, this will be the month where it really turns on, but it really just never happened. More »

Hubb, Validated!
Rated 3.6 Stars
If you've spent any amount of time around the Banzai Pipeline, Hubb would have caught your eye. While most Pipe waveriders focus on tuberiding, the sprightly Jeff "Hubb" Hubbard stealthily works the lineup, nabs those double-up ramps, and to the absolute glee of the gallery on the beach, launches skyward performing his aerial antics.

On Your Marks, Get Set, WAIT!
After weeks of nothing, a swell in the very beginning of the month reminded us just how good town can get. Though we didn't get the expected 6 footers they were predicting, we did get per-fect Ala Moana Bowls from the middle which had some 4 foot waves that just spun down the reef so perfectly; it reminded me why I really don't need to go anywhere else.

Moments of Glory
Rated 5.0 Stars
While it's no typical Hawaiian Winter by any means, January 2007 had some moments of glory. We had some fun surf New Years Day but a lot of hype over the next swell had everyone waiting for the Eddie on Jan 2. It was said to only have been 8 feet at Waimea that morning while Pipe was a perfect 10-12 but rising rapidly and totally out of control by midday, and then some sizable Waimea by late afternoon. The Bay broke a couple more half days, but that was about it and the conditions weren't too good for it either. More »
