North Shore is going off.

 North and West shores have been bombed off season with awesome 4 to 6 feet waves for already two days.
Two low pressures on the North Pacific will keep surf up for the North Shore for the entire week.
Another swell, right behind this current one,
is expected to reinforce the surf by Wednesday afternoon.
We had strong winds derived of the tropical storm Estelle, East, Southeast of the Big Island but,
 it has weakened over the past 36 hours.
Very rare surfing for this time of the year, August usually is the worst month on the Summer for any side of the island.
Overall, with all these small swells we had these past few months,
I consider this Summer one of the best ones ever.

Sunset had solid 6 feet waves today

Windsurfing was going off

Pipeline had lots of sand but, it showed some good rideable waves

Newly crowned World Longboard Champion Joel Tudor (La Jolla, CA) and ëQueen of Queensí Pinoi Makalena defeated off the nationís top professional longboarders to post parallel victories in the Converse Hawaiian Open, held at Queens, Waikiki.
Celebrating Duke Kahanamoku birthday, ninety two years after winning his first Olympic swimming gold medal in Stockholm, Hawaii's greatest ever athlete, was center stage again this weekend of celebrations in his honor.
Because, Kahanamoku became better known for introducing the world to the sport of surfing, it was only fitting that a traditional longboard contest was the opening event of the 2004 Duke's Ho'olaule'a.
Both won $4,000 for their performances. Tudor also took home an additional $1,000 for winning the Surf N Sea Nose Riding division, clocking up 14.1 seconds of nose riding time over two waves.

"No matter how we choose to go into the water,
whether it is surfing big waves, surfing small waves, sailing, canoeing or swimming.
It is important that we can enjoy ourselves and find peace(Clyde Aikau)."
