It's way too early to call it off. I think the forecasters have under-called every big swell this year. Chris Owens was on the news this morning and said Clyde wanted to run it even if it was only 15 to 20. KHON

Buoy 51101 at 4:50AM just pinged 6 ft, 21 sec. Should be interesting to see how it rises during the day.

Once it was pulled from Quiksilver, we knew things would be different. Surprised they are already calling it off though.

In the meantime, check out this vintage photo from the 1990 Eddie by Brian Bielmann. I'm top center spotting with Ben Aipa. Recognize anyone else in the pic?

Mark Foo was a legend from my childhood. Had that Foo at Waimea poster pinned on the wall.

I see Lord Tally Ho Blears on the left and Eddie Rothman(32nd) on the right. Behind Foo's(14th) left shoulder talking to Eddie it looks like Hans Hedemann's(13th) nose. Signing autographs with Mark? Is it Owl Chapman(18th) or Reno Abelira(24th)?
