Thursday 10/28/04

Small surf today on the NS, but new swell on the horizon and
 South Shore is pumping.

The surf was tiny this morning on the North Shore with 1 to 2 feet rideable waves.
As the day progress, we started to see a bit more waves in certain spots, still very small.
It should just get better:
51001 buoy, Northwest of the islands, is showing a 7.9 feet swell with 14 seconds period as 10 pm.
Surf should increase into tomorrow.
A South swell has provided 3 to 5 feet today in town and
High Surfing Advisory is posted for all the South facing shores.
Tradewinds weather will prevail for the weekend after so much rain.

Sunset

X-Cel is ready to go at Sunset

Chuns, even small, had some decent little waves

 

Save the Pipe Contest

The Pipe contest, the most prestigious event on the World Super Tour (WST)
has been denied a permit for a contest window by the City & County of Honolulu.
We would, therefore, appreciate anyone who wants to show their support for the contest
to sign this petition which will be forwarded to the Mayor of Honolulu.
The pipe contest is professional bodyboarding's longest running event and
for many years it was the world championships prior to the introduction of the GOB World Tour.
The current WST replaced the GOB World Tour with a vision to hold its contests at locations such as Pipe,
with superior wave quality and high danger levels ? an essential element of an extreme sport.
The Pipe Contest has for years epitomised what it takes to succeed at the top of the sport and
has helped pioneer the sport into what it is today with local legends such as
Mike Stewart, Ben Severson, Jack Lindholm & Kainoa McGee together with the countless bodyboarders
who traveled to the North Shore each year to prove themselves at Pipe.
It is, therefore, fitting that it has remained the crowning event on the WST Calendar and
to lose it would be a devastating blow to the sport.
Our last correspondence from Bob Thomas of GOB Oahu indicates that
the permit was denied with no reason given.
He has since found out that the pro surfers have got 12 of the 16 days, 2 days go to Bodysurfing and
a combination women's pro surfing/bodyboarding also 2 days.
GOB Oahu is attempting to get this decision overturned and
we would like to show our support for their cause which you can do by adding your name to this petition.
It is up to us to stand together on this issue so please
take the time to complete the petition and forward the email you receive onto your friends.

Thank you!
 

Aloha
&
Mahalo for surfing my site ;)
