Might have to tell you fellas a bit more when I get back to Aus
Heaps of good eatery's,took some touristy pics some of Sunset,hard to get ones at Waikiki unless you have a real good camera or pro done,it's about over 200metres out to where it breaks
Out at Pops this morning for a few hours a bit more swell and bit longer rides,rode a 9 2 but tommorow getting a 10 footer "V"


Looking forward to it mate...have a good one on the 10, maybe even try a 12 eh why not

Thanks, that actually explains a lot.

I was wondering why those Waikiki surfing pics look so strange, and why they always seem to be taken from a boat or another board.


Yeah Ob's,that's about the best way to get good pics.It's a very easy paddle out though and in between Pops and Threes is a channel.
I might try Keisers tommorow which is South of Threes if it's working,it was this morning but a fair few punters out!....

Mate that looks quite we stay there lock the boards to the right of your photo and head to the bar what a place.

When you walk out to the street have you seen a homeless guy about 55 with a small dog his name is Roy really nice chap just lost his long time job,JB and I know him say hi please.

Go the cheese cake factory and the yard house for drinks a dinner just down the road you are making me jealous,oh check our a surf shop called Surf Garage its about a 10 min taxi ride from Dukes its in the subs and its one of the best homeground surf shops around reminds me of the old days.

Wasn't expecting the swell to stick around but there were still some shoulder high sets rolling through today. Also wasn't as crowded as expected, fair few between 830 & 930. But like yesterday there were only a few people out between 1100 & 1300. Did what I wished I'd done yesterday & took a bottle of water out in a bum bag. Absolute lifesaver towards the end & think I'll do it more often. Pretty satisfied, don't care what its like tomorrow

Watched the crew get a few shin high with occasional waist high. Sunrise was spectacular and my sand eating assistant did not disappoint

No mate I gave him more, why because of his sad story on how he became homeless. Roy is his name one of the nicest people you could meet.

Today had a real Autumn feel about it with a light offshore , no haze and slightly cool. Got down there to find waist to chest high peaks and only a handful out spread all over the beach. Had a really good surf after nearly two months of rubbish and crowds. Stoked
