It feels like to me that Waimea seems to have lost that awe that I used to feel for that place - watching so much footage of Jaws these days - that place just seems like a better wave - way more critical and a real wave with an open face. Plus no one seems to drop in out there like at the bay. Still you would not catch me out at either location !
Looks like Fiji is copping it,I hope there wont be to much devastation,it's a huge one though

where were you sunday morning towball? I suspected Big River. Was out at point with whopper man and turkey. Plus a solitary long boarder they really really wanted to punch in the head as he had recently dropped in on whopper man in a disrespectful manner......and failed to say hi or good morning even though there was just 4 of us out there

Geez Gizzie .... how could you miss our handsome Uncle Fester 
I love these little coincidences and loose connections, Uncle Fester was played by former child actor Jackie Coogan, in the late 30s, Jackie and his then wife, Betty Grable, lived in Malibu. Back then, most of the BU was fenced off and access was restricted to landowners.
Coogan was actually an avid surfer and would often invite his surfing buddies up for sessions, they basically pioneered surfing at the BU.
The good morning thread was always a joy to wake up to and read the Griz and TB happenings of the morning,surf report,knee boarder report,sadly its dried up.

The Kneeboarder was getting upset cause someone was paying for his coffees at his coffee joint My advise was to keep his arse firmly against the wall
Turns out the offender has gone back to his home country across the ditch .
Always good to go out in the morning see the same faces don't talk that much just surf ,we just know one another so well

Last year jack paddles out and sits beside in my heat, fk off that way I says , why he say's ? Cause were having a contest I say's, he goes au fk and paddles away .
Beam me up Scotty I thinks.
yes......but difficult concept for the average citizen (and me) to comprehend
Someone puts up a tent and flies a flag or two
Someone puts on an ugly as T shirt .....and suddenly they "own" the beach ???
Of course I did own town beach this morning.......quite nice little waves
I even counted.....22 waves caught in 45 minutes
was the only person out so didn't have to be polite or diplomatic
