    What do you guys think if I started posting assorted photos of riders from all kinds of different countries at assorted locations (but mostly Hawaii) here in an on-going thread? You'd be able to see the pics better that way, make comments and ask each other questions. Only thing I ask is for you to respect the Copyright and not use, copy or alter the pics...........

    Mahalo for the kind words. I didn't meet MM but if someone could post a pic or describe his gear, I might run across pics of him. I shot everyday the waves were descent.

    Pics like this are a double edged sword:
    It amps me up so much to check them and then when I run off to the beach and its 3ft wind chopped and cold as f@ck, I start wimpering to myself and get depressed for days...
  • Spy Dude
    June 2007
    bru.. i have missed ever kbay swell for a year now... dont talk to me about surf related depression. Like i commented on that close out pic of Peters.. when i saw those photos i wanted to shit and puke at the same time.. like that feeling when you catch one in the nuts... think i shed a tear too... Life is suxing big time at the moment. I hate work.
  • Digital Danny
    June 2007
    I know the feeling/pain as well.......BUT, sooner or later the waves will come. Until then I just keep myself busy with other things and keep the stoke in cruise control the amping in low gear. For wave riders it's all about traveling away from home during your locations off season to hunt down barrels.

    Then I did meet MM on Maui. He was stoked to represent SA & place behind Stewart even if the waves were shitty. Stewart was the most stoked of all! I need to know what color and kind of rashie he wore on the north shore.

    When we hear from you again, I'd like to know that you have sent Danny an apology ... that is not on bru!!! Apart from being plain disrespectful, guys who do put efforts in are discouraged by attitude like this and then we wonder why people stop putting in efforts.

  • Digital Danny
    August 2007
    "Last minute heroics was the call for heat 7 with Paul Benco (HI) pulling out all stops in the last 5 minutes of the heat. Dave Winchester (Aus) was dominating the young Hawaiian early for the first 25 minutes with clean barrels to roll combos with scores ranging from a solid 7.5 to 8.5 range. With time ticking and Paul knowing this was his last chance to get some uncrowded pipe like surf, he decided to relax and surf his game instead of playing into contest pressures. It worked as the sets came his way following the order of a deep barrel to roll, followed by a huge invert in front of the dangerous inside rocks and finally another deep tube to cut back to stamp his name into the events history books. When the horn sounded the internationally unknown Benco gained some respect from the competitors as well a new pack of Chilean fans as the crowd went made as he made his way up the rocks. "

  • Digital Danny
    August 2007
    I think that Sandy's contest vid was the first of a pro contest by Tom Boyle. Was that the one that it came down to Danny Kim and Mike and Mike won?

    Sandy's has several different peaks. The photos are mostly of Gas Chambers to the far right and Middles. 99% of the time it's a close out. There's also Pipe Littles to the left which is makable a lot of the time but it's not as hollow most of the time like Gas Chambers is. And then there's 1/2 Point further to the left, further out and a very shallow reef break that Aka made famous.

    Sandy's is as much about the stoke as it is about the waves. It's like the party beach in and out of the water. A lot of people meet there and become life long friends and the beach babes are infamous, and then there's the parking lot chilling!

    Yo Wade...........

    Those coral rocks rolling around int he shorebreak are killers. When it's right at Sandy's, the sand bar is perfect and there's no coral in the shorebreak.

    Haven't been to Africa......yet. Maybe one of these days. I've been to Indo, Tahiti, Puerto Escondido, Cali, Washington State, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Arizona, Massachusetts, Japan, Germany and all of the Hawaiian Islands.

    You coming to Hawaii again?

    If you guys wanna see tons of killer photos of Sandy's and elsewhere, check http://forums.ebodyboarding.com/cgi-bin ... act=SF;f=1 under the Sandy Beach Chronicles and Eye Candy threads.

    11-05-2007 USBA Tour Imperial Beach Contest Results

    11/06/07The Bodyglove Bodyboards USBA 2007 National Championship Tour

    Event 4: The IB Pro

    Sponsors: Bodyglove Bodyboards, No Friends Clothing, 662mob.com and
    the Town of Imperial Beach

    Amateur Tour Sponsors: Custom X

    The IB Pro was compiled into two days of action from Amateur upsets
    and darkhourse Pro efforts abound. The Amateur Division left a very
    important situation to be decided over the next two USBA events. New
    Jerseys new USBA prospect Dillon Druz who swept the northeast leg of
    the tour, was taken out due to poor wave selection in the first round.
    This left Reis Yanaheiro still in the running for the USBA Amateu
    Championship. Ries took home the win and a rekindled a motivation to
    compete for the title.

    Heading into the Women's Pro Division an on fire former world champ
    Kira Lyllelyn was surfing better then most of the Men's Pro
    contestants. In the final she was able to land three ars's and one
    invert cleanly proving why she is world champion material. Monique
    Delamore placed second with a great effort narrowly beating the
    current USBA Champion Roberta Bitzer.

    The IB Pro's DK division was a whirlwind of upsets and rouge
    performances. Bobby Kitchart (CA) was on a mission smashing every
    section that came his way and knocking out current DK USBA Champ Dave
    Hubbard. Jeff Hubbard was able to sneak by his brother as well and
    make it to the final where he finished 2nd to Willy Sani (CA) who put
    in a huge performance in his first ever USBA appearance winning the
    entire event!

    Heading into the Pro Divisions there were some slow starts but big
    finishes that outweighed the early rounds. The early rounds noticeable
    names where Robby Grey (AUS), Jacob Romero (HI), Jason Bitzer,Brian
    Cruz (Guam) and Sacha Specker(SA). Early round upsets came in the form
    of local hero's Ross McBride, Jeremy Wright, Brad Mebust amongst other
    new USBA new comers. Jeff Hubbard who consistently placed second in
    his heats seemed to never find his rhythm and was stopped in the
    semi's to leave his brother Dave and buddy Spencer Skipper to carry
    the Hawaiian flag into the finals. Also Jorge Colomer (PR) put in
    consistent efforts gaining him access to the final, but it was South
    Africa's Sacha Specker who was on fire after his near loss in the
    semis. Sacha stamped his name in the USBA history books and took home
    the $1000 dollar first place check.

    The USBA heads to the Rosarito Beach Pro next weekend Nov 9-11th with
    and expected 1,500 plus crowd on hand. Check out usbamag.com/webcast
    for live action of the event as well usbatour.org for a live link

    11-5-2007 Off The Wall and Backdoor on a small day but it was fun after enduring 2-days of rain. The dk guy with the red rashie is my son Colin who rides for Custom X and Viper. I didn't go down to the beach on the rainy days but was told that there were a couple of 1-hour windows when it stopped raining and the surf was good sized.

    Bodyboarding has been doing pretty well in the local SA papers over the last year thanks to the efforts of a few - OJ, Mike Dei-Cont and Gareth White that I know of ... and the SA Times in London ran a shot of Mark McCarthy at Shark Island and then a full page front cover photo of Justin Lindsay inverting at the Plett Wedge during SA Champs (trying to get the PDF off them at the moment).

    And credit to the photographers who make their shots available to the papers - they don't pay but this all helps to grow our sport.

    Yesterday on the North Shore. 11-29-2007: Colin B calls me at 7:30 and said he was on his way to Pipe and the waves should be pretty good. I have to have my 2 cups of java, get ready and head down. Driving past Waimea there are some waves and surfers out. Get to Pipe at 9am and it's 4-6' with fair conditions but super, super crowded again. I decide to go down to the water line and shoot the angle in spite of having to deal with the white water from the front waves (I need a ladder!) for an hour and then decide to move up the hill further down and shoot flat at Pipe and Backdoor. 30-minutes later I get a call to go to another spot. Get there and shoot for an hour or so, go eat lunch, check out another spot and head back to Pipe. Conditions are not bad but lighting is funky except for a couple mackers at Insanities with the back light. More photos in Blog.

  • Digital Danny
    February 2008
    That's Micah Salazar from the Big Island doing the air. He made it through 3 rounds I think. Tharin still comes down to OTW occasionally and can still kill it.

    Spent some time with Darren Halse. He's good friends with Hawaiian Paul Benco so we got to break bread with a few brews more than once. He did REALLY good in the contest as well as free surfing before the contest earning respect from all the Hawaiians for sure.
    OY9W8021copy.jpg
    ^^^Darren
    Dre was totally awesome going through 7 heats I think, winning 6 before the winds came on and the waves got ugly. He also scored well out of the water. Wish I would have taken a pic of him with this other blond "friend" of his that flew in from Dana Point California.

    Shallow reef = skeg killer and skegs up front is a fairly common sight at shallow breaks.

    As for taking off with skegs forward, my brother Alan occasionally whips out the take off with his surfboard back-to-front and upside down from his arsenal of party tricks --- no 360 or kick-flip involved but taking off with no wax and 3 fins facing up at you is not what your mother would recommend.

    If you imbed an image which is too wide for your screen then the rest of the image is hidden to stop users posting images which make the forum stretch beyond the width of your screen.

    If you want to view the full image then right click and select "view image".

    For anyone who is posting an image - if you "upload attachment" then it will resize to fit in the screen if it is too big and will let you hyperlink to the full size image. You should upload and then choose to "place inline".

    Aloha nui loa!! Might be 20' Hawaiian this Saturday!!

    Sunday 11-9-2008

    After having spent all day at the beach this past Thursday, I ended up staying home on Friday and Saturday. According to the coconut wireless, it was only average conditions at OTW and Pipe, and with it costing $20 round trip for gas from Kailua to the North Shore I gotta take her easy. But, now that I see all the great shots from Ryan, Colin M, Mo & JT, maybe I should have gone! ohmy.gif)

    So, the forecast for today was a new 6-8' Hawaiian NW swell filling in late in the afternoon. Check the buoys late last night: 8' 14 sec. Not bad. Okay, we go! Get a morning voice mail from Jordan Stallard who slept on the North Shore last night. "pouring rain. It's dumping" Hmmmm..........Get a call at 10am from Paul Benco. He's on his way down from town. Heard from Mark Balasbas that the sun is trying to pop. Okay, we go....

    It's pouring rain in Kailua but after passing over the Koolau mountains I can see some blue toward the north shore. Getting amped. Gotta keep checking the speedometer. So, get to the 7-mile miracle and decide to shoot from Rock Piles. Pull out my camera and it starts pouring. Really pouring rain. Run under the life guard shack, set up, buss out the sunflower seeds and water. There's some size out there but the swell direction is to west again and it's shutting down. Chit.....das allright. Just shoot and hope for the best as the day progresses.

    OY9W1094copy.jpg

    Starts raining again. It's around 2pm so I decide to park at Ehukai, eat lunch and check out Pipe. It's mostly pinching but Backdoor is looking pretty good. Talk story with some of the boys and Jordan rolls in....okay, I'm gonna go set up at OTW and shoot Backdoor.

    OY9W1398copycopycopy.jpg
    ^^^Chase Maglangit busting late evening Backdoor

    So, 6PM and no light: head for Starbucks in Pupukea to get a tripple espresso brave late.. for the long drive home. Benco is sitting outside, talk about tomorrow and then Veterans Day on Tuesday. Sounds good!

    This morning 3-9-2009 at Pipe. Big, nuts, spooky, all over the place, cloudy, rainy, winds howling and overall a bummer after expecting it to be all time according to the forecasts etc. Only Hubb & Skipp were out when I got there at 11am but they had been out for and hour and a half or so. Skipp caught one more wave and came in. Jeff caught a couple then came in. He said the winds were blowing up swell that was messing up the waves, the current shifted north and it was pretty hectic out there.

The sun came out at 11:15am, things settled down and conditions increased to epic! It was the only spot on Oahu that was any good but Maui did get some as well but more stormy conditions.
