Shore looked a little closer than I thought. Maybe where the patients are?I thought so at first, but I think it's a spot just a bit North.

theres a place that never breaks down there called sandys that was probably good on the right tide, and probably uncrowdedMeanwhile, down here in San Diego.....
I remember as a younger man riding LP on a larger day. The reef coming up at you was an incredible sight. Old Ilima Kalama going right.Being dragged over the reef at La Perouse is my worst nightmare. There wouldn’t be enough skin left to graft your wounds. C
Theres not much jack until the peak. It goes straight into the hole of the harbor mouth and then jumps. It would be hard to follow the troughs I thinkThat reeling and 'unmakable' first section keeps begging the question, could it be made from a hard whip-in on a tow board? And if so, from how far back up the reef? My feeling is that it could, and it would be a sight to behold.
Its been known to happen. The other side of the bay is a Kapu fish breeding ground in the summerso it was sharx that kept the lineup enpty at La Perouse?
I saw some of Robby Naish sailing it on his FB page. He didnt name the spot so it might be hard to find vidWhere's this footage at , please?
I went online to see if anything had been published on the recent swell and nothing was available. I also called the phone number in Hilo that was published on NPS web page but the phone # was not working according to Verizon.Any word on whether or not the City of Refuge suffered any damage?
Thanks for looking into it for me.I went online to see if anything had been published on the recent swell and nothing was available. I also called the phone number in Hilo that was published on NPS web page but the phone # was not working according to Verizon.
Ilima Kalama is such a badass. The story of the abalolone boat he was on sinking in the dark at Cortes Bank is the stuff of true nightmares.I remember as a younger man riding LP on a larger day. The reef coming up at you was an incredible sight. Old Ilima Kalama going right.
Kalama's are related to us. My bother Joe and Ilima were roommates in Newport Beach years back. Joe, was with the Costa Mesa PD & Ilima was diving for ab and on the ski patrol up at Mammoth Mountain.Ilima Kalama is such a badass.

I'll dig up the segment on Ilima from Ghost Wave and post it. It's truly a jaw dropping story.Ilima is related to our family. My brother Joe and Ilima lived on 17th street in Newport Beach years back. My brother was a cop in Costa Mesa and Iima was diving for ab then and on the ski patrol up at Mammoth Mountain.
I moved to Kona in 1970 to help my Mom move and once she got settled in I returned to California. My brother moved on to the Santa PD and I didn't know where Ilima had moved to.

I never got first hand knowledge from Ilima on the story but snippets from my brother after the incident a year or two later. Crazy poop can happen out in the deep blue. One has to have presence of mind, control over one's action, fortitude and physical stamina to endure and live, another day.
