Might be able to run today but I would probably run just tomorrow. Not that it factors into the equation but the Surfer Awards is happening tomorrow night. _________________________ sponge www.hisurfadvisory.com

Racer1 Phil Edwards status Registered: 04/16/14 Posts: 6002 Loc: Honolulu, Hawaii	View this post on Instagram 40 yr old virgin 🤣 My First session at Waimea shore break and I won’t lie at this exact moment I got a little scared. One of the larger caves I have been in and knew there was zero exit. Thanks @andrew_rams_ @chrisbryanfilms @timmyhamilton @whoisjob @seabassperez for getting me excited to paddle out. I was so stoked I had my #hubboards #sci5 #concave to handle the air drops and gnarly bottom turns. Thanks @andrew_rams_ for the photo and all the other photo and video gurus in the beach for the #support🤙 @hubboards @airhubb_swimfins @vertra @bombereyewear @hidentitysurf @airhubb_wetsuits @bioastin @kindsnacks #bodyboarding #bodyboard #waveoftheday #waimeabay #scared #fun #barrels #shorebreak #photooftheday A post shared by Jeffrey Hubbard (@jdhubb) on Dec 5, 2018 at 3:30pm PST That's gotta be the biggest I've ever seen somebody ride it.

Buoys are still ~12 feet at 17 seconds. Tomorrow’s contest should be interesting. Too bad I’m at a conference in San Diego. Surfed right before I jumped on the plane today, but the Westside (at least where I was) hadn’t really filled in yet. Looking to hopefully ride the mat while I’m here. _________________________ [P]ower and privilege cannot move a people who know where they stand and stand in the law.

craigj532 Rabbitt Bartholomew status Registered: 11/09/02 Posts: 8779	https://youtu.be/YGyNqerzeW8 Can’t believe how good and clean the above photos look. Blessings to the sandbars who made it all possible and give me an excuse to share this old vid (that I can’t figure out how to embed). Co-directing that contest was one of the highlights of my life. So many surfers I love in this video, most of whom I don’t see nearly as much as I would like and a few of whom that aren’t with us anymore. And still ranks high on the list of best NS bodysurf contests of all time.

Totally agree. Going be heavy. Quote: Too bad I’m at a conference in San Diego. Surfed right before I jumped on the plane today, but the Westside (at least where I was) hadn’t really filled in yet. Looking to hopefully ride the mat while I’m here. Went there early this morning it was smallish compared to the North Shore. Eric and Wyatt were out along with Wajdi. _________________________ sponge www.hisurfadvisory.com
