Hookipa 12 14. I got there at 5 and I saw Stone, Aguera, Polakow and Ordonez coming out of the water. "Damn, I missed some good photo opportunities!", I thought. But a few more pros were still in the water... This is Levi Siver.

I could not understand what those comets were, once I saw this photo on the screen of my computer, when I finally recalled that it was lightly raining and very windy when I took it. And I used the flash. So I believe those are the drops of rain caught in their fall. Some of them go upright? Not too surprising... must have been a strong gust...
Quity trippy anyway, uh?

This house in Makawao is the winner of tonight's Chistmas ornaments hunting session. Unbelievable. With the money they spend on electricity for that shit they could easily buy a few good meals for a starving child in Africa... Is this a fucked up world or what?

Sunday 12 12. Again, I wanted to stay away from the Hookipa zoo and I choosed to go to Launiupoko. Sunny, knee high waves, peace, fun. This guy seems to be enjoying too... Hey I need a feedback from the old blog users. As explained a few pics later, I'm using a different technique to upload photos. Do you guys think that opening the blog and/or the photos is slower than before? Is the watermelon photo slower to open than the others (it's a 800KB file. the other photos are less then 200KB)? Please post a comment to this post and let me know your feedback.

Hanamanou bay on Dec 1st. I was tired of the unfriendly crowd at Hookipa. It was small and closing out, but I had it all for me... What a beautiful place!

It was a big day at Kanaha on Monday Dec 5th. Thank god this is not my board...

This is an experiment. The damn sw to upload the photos on the blog is still not working, so I'm trying "manually". The photo shows the incredible conditions that, once again, Hookipa offered on Wednesday nov 30. It's a bit old, but, again, this is an experiment... Hey, I just checked it. Not too bad. Actually the photo size is even bigger, especially when you click on it, that may mean that I may run out of space soon... we'll see. So now I can post again...

dammit!

The damn sw to upload the photos is not working again. Sorry, I have no idea why. In the meantime, just stick to the forecast. Friday we'll have a giant swell coming from WNW. Start thinking where to go surf... Forget about Hookipa and Kanaha. West side? Waiehu side? Harbor? Hanamanou? La Perouse?? Oh well, maybe it's not going to be that big in Maui, since from that direction we get the block of: Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai and Lanai. Basically only Kahoolawe and Big Island won't block it...
Am I complaining? Not at all. Maui is still no ka oi.

Crazy rails
