Day 4 in Hawaii

December 11, 2010 at 4:03 am (Uncategorized)

Well the last few days have been awesome…. Hilo bay which doesn’t always break had some great head high sets come through and gave up long rides both left and right. Fast sections, turny sections, floaters and lip smashes, driving cutbacks shortboard style and even some airs. No carnage to speak of… its been an amazing few days.

At the same time, Adam, my sales director was on the N Shore of Ohau with Robbie Naish at Kammy’s and he did get pounded… snapped his 7’3″ clean in two and got such a beat down that robbie padled over to see if he was still OK… pretty funny. He was delivering to the BG team their first SUP’s that we make for them and went out afterwards on their 10’5″ surfing board called the Thrust.

Registration was this morning for the world cup final here at Honoli’i and the trials are set for Sunday… hopefully the gods will give us some waves. We started with an amazing ceremony with the mayor of Hilo attending, and a traditional Hawaiian blessing. Tristan from the Waterman League is doing a great job finding that happy place between a competition and the soul of surfing.
