She's a good woman !

OK, let's plan it for later in the year - I'm in.

It'll allow me to come up north in Feb / March to Byron and then save some extra cash for the Hawaii trip as I would like to bring a board or two home with me.

come on Pup do it

Last time I went in 2003 I stayed in the top corner of the Rainbow Tower of the Hilton Hawaiian at Ala Moana on Oahu.

Surf Ala Moana Bowl out front and had all the breaks east up to Queens within walking distance.

Hired a car for a week too and did the 45 mins drive to the North Shore and Haleiwa when the mood suited.

I'm with Mac - stay somewhere on the south shore stretch.






A great Queens clip from 2013 at;

Also some good Bowl footage at;

www.surfline.com/surflinetv/surfline-live/surfline-live-south-shore-highlights_96401

Queens ,Public and Canoe's all time fun waves.Paddling over the reefs with turtles under you warm water clear skies it won me over real easy.Ooh and drinking beers at Dukes well that was good as well

That ala moana bowl clip was a ripper....drop down and it just jacks straight up

Love to do a trip over there one day. Always thought end of season north shore wd be it.....March time.

How crowded is it really Mac on those south shore reefs? Wd it freak me out?

Its full on out the front mate every wave is a party,go left or right peaks across a short channel and its less crowded but full of angry locals who hate sharing Matt was told to fk off so he paddled over to me so I paddled back with him man they would not let us have a wave,if we got one they dropped in on every wave we caught,no worth the hassle so paddled back and had a blast with the crowd.

shame my wife has surfed pipe when it was bigger than that

hey is it boys only... ? shes a good bloke

I'd be there in a flash! Except the wife is studying... There's no way in hell she will give me a leave pass!




Speaking of leave passes, I was chatting to a successful ex-AFL buddy today, at Winki-Pop... He scored a leave pass for G-Land & Hawaii in October. Upon his return, the swell was pumping, but he had to stay onshore, hold the wife's hand... marriage was on the rocks... So the marriage blues hit us all at times! (I think)...

My experiences are that you get less waves there in a week than you do in one session back home but the experience is all time.

I surfed Pipe at 6-8 feet and it was the one session that I'll never forget and Waimea (5 foot only) - got smashed at Haliewa and was humbled and the level of surfing was amazing in general....easy to see the whole 'waterman' thing amongst the locals.

The vibe in the water makes our hostile seem very friendly but the smiles at Waikiki, rolling in on a 12 footer for over a mile with 10 others and the fact you are just 'In Hawaii' make it worthwhile IMO.

Airlines have been doing $600 return and with 4 or 5 guys you could do accommodation fairly cheaply I'd think.

It's an experience all surfers should have as it is holistically the home of our passion.
