OK, I just couldn't wait and did a google search, found a great video of the Eddie tournament on the Quiksilver website, complete with commentary and wipeouts. Have fun!

The surf-porn came via email. It's one of the benefits of working at a Surf Tour Company. Our clients are very good about sending us pictures. I am happy to share if you send me an email at[email protected] I'll send the pics back by return email.

You just made me snort my "adult beverage"!

I'd love to find that t-shirt this time over.

Even in summer, with waves of a foot or two, the power of the water in Waimea Bay is incredible. So it's just incredible to think of someone in one of those waves!

Things have calmed down...Hanalei Bay is just 25-35 feet today (yiiiiiiiiiiikes!).

The sea mist from the force of these monster waves crashing on the reef and the cliff faces which border Hanalei Bay, has engulfed the town, the taro patches, and is about half-way up the pali.

Awesome to see Ma Nature doing her thing!
