Last night was full of Hawaiian vibes in the Waimea Valley. There were all kinds of legend Hawaiian musicians, along with ukulele shredder Jake Shimabukuro. Check him jam the shit out of the uke on this song.

The contest at Sunset was called off just before Gony’s heat, waves are crud. The boyz are layin’ low. Rell Sunn dinner auction tonight with great live music.

Tai guns through the section, no thanks to the one dumpin’ a chandelier.

Hawaii is made up of big volcanic rocks in the middle of the ocean, and they get slammed by raw ocean energy…Okay so you may know that. What you may not know is where to go when the bouys jump to 20 feet. The boyz at the house (including Dusty, Dingo, Alex Gray, Tai, Tom Dosland, and Blake Jones) jumped to an outer island for 2 days and are scoring right now….even as you chow down on turkey giblets and what have you. Check back for vids in tomorrow.

Dean ripped and surfs his round of 32 heat in an hour.


Dusty couldn’t find another good wave and went down…quite a shock, but that kind of thing happens. Good things come and go like bad things. His WCT qualification comes down to Sunset.

Meanwhile in front of the house, Kawai Lindo goes around the camera at Off The Wall.

Tai was bored so he started a project…a deck that extends from the house yard to over the sand.  Tai jumped out for a surf while building the platform, so Bruce jumped in to pound some nails and Kaimana watches on. I shot this photo and then quickly glanced back at the ocean to see Tai jam the turn above. -mg
