Brah, I have not seen Dave in so long but he's is one of the coolest. Always thought he surfed like Tom Carroll.
Hope he's well. Good vibes with that guy. I also haven't surfed your guys spot in probably a decade so that's why.

Yep Dave is actually too nice I scold him for talking to the donkey blow-ins. He still talks sh*t when they can’t hear.

One day years ago we surfed in the afternoon at “our” spit. It was pumping and offshore. Maybe 8 plus waves in a set with 6 guys out. Roadblock fades Dave twice on overhead nuggets.

When I go in Dave is a few beers deep and asks me which is Roadblocks truck. I’m at my special parking so I’m not by the beach access parking. I go why. Dave is angry drunk. He goes I’m gonna slash that f*ckers tires. I tell him he’s a roofer look for roofing tools in the back. Luckily Roadblock beat Dave to his truck or it would’ve been ugly. Dave is shorter and smaller than me and Roadblock is moke sized.

from Oregon, now SD
Had my last surf session yesterday afternoon at gas chambers, the first wave I surfed when I moved to the north shore. Things went a little better this time than that inaugural session, I wasn't scared, didn't bounce off the reef, and actually manage to make a wave.

I was definitely hoping to roll the dice at Sunset one more time. catch one deep, race past the crowd on the bowl and hang on by a thread through the inside in to the channel. Playing that slot machine always scared me, but the few times it all worked out were memorable.

Won't lie, this winter was disappointing, and has helped take some of the sting off of leaving. It's also made me realize that what actually makes Hawaii special is the people. Love Hodel got me to go on my first proper wave at the west bowl. Uncle Chuck handed me to date the best wave of my life like it wasn't a thing to him. Many thanks to Willy Asprey, Jake DiPaola and the rest of the sunset point crew who have shown me a thousand acts of kindness over the years. The North Shore is an incredible group of people, if there was nothing else to recommend the place they would still be enough. It breaks my heart to leave, but new beginnings are exciting.


Aloha

“In a recent sit down with the West Australian in which Logan spoke of “bringing the razzle-dazzle” back to surfing and said, “The real key for us is keeping in mind that the media part of this is the vehicle by which we connect the fans to the sport. That for me is what really excites me.”

Thank heavens! I have really missed the razzle dazzle!
