Aloha !!!

1st day of the Mike Stewart bodyboarding contest at Pipeline was on today with
6 feet waves & variable winds.
For the first time ever the trials is ran at Pipeline, not at the Turtle Bay.
Last year it was ran at the West side.
There was so many new names and
the standout today in the three first rounds was Michael Avila of Venezuela winning all his three heats and having the highest score of the day.
