Already a couple of people in water when I took this pic from Makorori hill this morning

Thanks Griz

Beautiful dawn patrol for sure!

The swell that rocked Tahiti has made its way here to Oahu.
My partner sizes up the inside bowl on the way out to our hideaway outside reef.

The takeoff required some commitment.

On a fast track and needing every bit.

The wind started to step up later on and made it more challenging.

Lots of carnage...

Take care everyone and keep it safe!

Is an ancient e bike.....very heavy and 48v 1000 w.....you best to look at more modern bikes

Winds finally backed off for a nice quiet one at Ventnor

Tiny, but the sunrise conditions were just amazingly beautiful and serene!

First clean session of Hurricane "Larry"
It was raining, so only Kook Hat Cam last night.
Doesn't show waves well when riding, but ok catching others on the paddle out

Bigger today... hoping I can use SoloShot to film

No pictures or video, but had two great surfs Wednesday and Friday, each 3 hours long and 30+ waves. Lots of head-high-plus waves. With the lockdown I haven't been out as much, but I was so fortunate to have two days of great conditions, very little competition (yesterday I had the break to myself most of the time). There is nothing like having powerful waves, flying along at 20-26 kms/hr, top to bottom surfing, prettending to be a real surfer (not just an old dude with little skill). The batteries are fully charged and I am still smiling!

4 Days of swell from Hurricane Larry at Satellite Beach up to Jetty park, Florida

First day out on a new board yesterday - Port Hacking

My first wave back from my Mexico trip almost killed me.
The board shot right at my face, but my paddle and hand stopped it.
It happened freakishly fast

video coming!

I've broken a paddle doing that ,but it went straight through the paddle ,broke it in half then winded the crap out of me ..not a good feeling .

I did something similar a few months back on a really innocuous looking 2ft wave, tripped a rail, board got sucked up under me and I went down hard on my ribs. I came up gasping for air and thought I had a.) broken some ribs and b.) broken the board. Fortunately a couple of minutes floating around in the impact zone sorted me out and I continued with the session with some extra bruises. Board was fine!

A week ago, a first tease of winter swells, then back to the doldroms..
