San Oh-no!

Squeekie photo.

So I'm sipping a Mai Tai on the balcony of my hotel room, peacefully enjoying the afternoon. I glance to the north and I see something that frightens me.

Yes, it appears that Duke Kahanamoku's lagoon is now an SUP breeding ground. During my week or so visit to the island, I saw between six and eight SUP lessons from my vantage point 30 floors up.

I even tried to squish this one with my finger, unsuccessfully.

Aloha!

Too Many Burgers Tom?

Bellyflop? Wounded Seagull? Fatburger Flyer? In any case, hilarious. Pic sent in by reader TomsBurger.

Celebrity Surf Camp

All my favorite things rolled into one. Actually, this was quite entertaining, even though I didn't know the "celebrities".

Minnie Mal Driver

While I've heard only good things about Minnie's respect and etiquette in the surf, celebrity photo ops with surfboards still make me cringe.

Shred The Gnar

Surfermag BB member ShredTheGnar outing himself in this fantastic shot. I personally love the long-john wetsuit and dry hair elements of the photo!

Mexican Faceplant

Somewhere south of the border. Ouch!

Winter's Last Punch...

After surfing some windswell this week with a little southern hemi sneaking in, it dawned on me that the winter wave season is almost over. In fact, I even trunked it twice this week. In honor of the final goodbye of winter for the year, here's a pic sent in by reader Copeland.

Doggie Style

This dog is surfing better than half the guys out at Swamis on any given day.

Exhilarating

This pic really gets my blood pumping!

Granny Rocks!

Something tells me that the Grandma on the right is about to do some heavy trimming on that board. I can't say the same for the other Grandma's rubber ducky...the rails look a bit too knifey!

Booger!

Shipsterns in Tazzie. Idiot booger. Pic from Swell.net.

Sorry for the delay...

Back and ready to roll. Scored a bunch of windy north shore action, not much to write home about. Oh yeah, there's an SUP epidemic in Oahu at the moment. More later.
