Surfboard Porn
My long time friend Kye Fitzgerald, son of the Great Terry Fitzgerald is a really, really good single fin surfer like his dad and he visited over the past couple of weeks. Under his arm, he had the most amazing quiver of single fin surfboards that you could imagine. Take a [...]

Hawaii’s Tsunami threat now over
Just about all of you know about the Chilian earthquakewhich occured last night and the resulting tsunami threat which had
all of Hawaii on full alert till well into the afternoon. I started the day out being woken by about a dozen tourists packing all their stuff into their cars out in the parking [...]
Uh Oh, looks like a legitimate Tsunami coming for Hawaii
We woke very early this morning to tourists scrambling to get their stuff packed into cars and out of here. A massive earthquake in Chili last night was called a Super-Quake. Apparently they only happen in the world like 0.3 times a year, which is one every 3 years in the entire world. [...]

North shore sand bars light up again for 2 day marathon
It seems that the picture which I posted yesterday morning, entitled; AquaBlade was a bit of a omen, but in a good sense. That is exactly how the sandbars at Pupukea have been looking for the past 2 days, here on the north shore. The water has been absolutely [...]
Finals day at the Volcom Pipe pro
They wrapped up the Volcom pipeline Pro surfing contest yesterday at perfectly glassy/a> 4-6 foot Pipeline. It was the earliest that anyone can ever remember seeing a contest at Pipeline finish. There were just the 2 semi finals and final. The final itself was kind of hard [...]
Pipe shines with an all star crew
As many Pipe specialists will tell you; It’s been a great season unless riding the Pipe is your gig. If that’s the case, this has been probably the most frustrating of seasons for the Pipe surfer. We’ve had pumping swellpretty much since late August and the only real

4th place: Danny [...]
Wild and wooly day at The Pipe for Volcom Pipe Pro
The day started off real gloomy and pretty much victory at sea conditions, but it did have that look like it might clear up to perfection, like it did on thursday (the 28th) on day 2 of the event. I got there pretty early because Jamie’s bud; Ruben needed a [...]
Incredible water moment
This is an interesting moment from last week’s dream sand bar days. There was this one surfer duck-divingthrough this wave.
I don’t know what happened to them, but this is a pretty cool Hawaiian surf moment….

Awesome waves ensure, the Volcom Pipe Pro go’s off!
My wife Lane has been waiting just about all season for the ugly sandbar to move away and let Pipe do it’s thing properly. Finally, it did this morning, all be it under still ragged and large swell which at times was rolling entire heats of contestents. Those [...]
A perfect dreamy surfing moment
I just wanted to revisit this beautiful dreamy surf moment from a couple of days ago, when there was no wind and it was perfectly blue over the sandbars. Just a total dream session for anyone who was out there for sure. I’ve just added this image to [...]
Amazing crystal clear conditions on the north shore
Absolutely beautiful conditions here on the north shore yesterday and I guess we could be expecting more today. I just love it here when it settles down and produces days like this.
Huge perfect Waimea for every man – Jan 11th 2010
The Eddie Aikau big wave surfing contest has a commanding presence over Waimea Bay. Each year, surf season comes around and whenever there’s a sniff of a Waimea swell, there are hoards of sponsored big wave surfers all over it. This year was no different leading up to the [...]
Almost empty lineups lead to dream surfs for lucky few
They again called off the Backdoor Shootout event this morning and when I passed my wife coming back early from that direction, I figured, it couldn’t be good. Strangely enough, I guess the tide turned at the moment that I arrived because there were crew getting pretty deeply shacked at Pipe Barrel going [...]
Decent but unorganised Pipe not good enough for the Backdoor Shootout
I rocked up to Pipe this morning, totally expecting that the Backdoor Shootout surfing contest would probably be going ahead simply because the
surf was finally small enough to consider the idea of competing. Although it had vasty cleaned up, it was still a long way from being a quality contest situtation, and [...]
Did you surf Waimea on the 5th and the 7th of December?
I’ve had numerous surfers ask me about getting pictures from the Waimea sessions on the 5th and the 7th of december, right before the Eddie, so I went through all the pictures (and there’s a lot) and I placed a large gallery of images on my print site for you to look at. [...]
River surfing at waimea Bay
I was on my way over to Haleiwa with Jamie Obrien today when we noticed the river flowing at Waimea, so we stopped in for a look. It was rad. there were like 4-5 foot standing waves at times and surfers were just frothing on every peak that [...]
Mele Kalikimaka from da North shore!
Wow, what a crazy few weeks, it’s been here on the north shore lately. There’s been so much going on round the place. Finally Christmas came around we got the north shore back all-be-it for a week or little more. So quiet round here at the [...]
A look behind the Pipemasters of 2009
Just thought I’d take a look back over the week that was chaos, ridiculous traffic, countless barrels, a world championship, a couple of total Pipe legends, another back on the rise. Life on the north shore mid December. Doesn’t get much better. Here’s a glimpse into not necessarily the [...]
Taj Burrow takes the 2009 Pipe Masters mantel
They ran the finals of the Pipe Masters yesterday and although it wasn’t exactly
real Pipeline, it was a lot better than some previous finals days. At least we had tubes offer. There was only one Hawaiian surfer left in the mix, my good friend Flynn Novak who was up [...]
