    The Great Delusion

    Yeah, that was my 1st choice mainly because it has the Bosch motor. However I got the Pivot for a stupid-good price that was a one-time offer so I had to jump on it.

    Selling a classic car in Hawaii (Big Island)

    Dad passed away this summer so my brother and I are trying to help mom sell his 56 Pontiac Chieftain 2 door wagon. If it were on the mainland it would be no problem but it is in Hilo so options are limited (it’s the orange/white one that used to cruise town for anyone living there). Its not...

    Big Island recommendations?

    There were no waves on my last trip so I spent a lot of time swimming at both Carlsmith and Richardson Beach parks. Poke at Suisan is pretty tasty. Even when its small Honoli'i has longboard waves

    At what point is it ok to take a dump in your wetsuit?

    True, I kinda got off track in regards to the thread title. However, I have seen a few locals wear 2mm fullsuits in the morning when the rivers are flowing strong down into the rivermouths near Hilo.

    Spray vs. Technique

    Spray vs. Technique

    This could be an oversimplification but I would say it often depends on the level of competition and distance from judges to the waves being ridden In a local contest without any replay and the judges are a couple hundred yards away then throwing spray is definitely gonna get you some scores...
