SURF OBSERVATIONS
Triple Surf Shoot -- 8/26/06
Falling out of the sky
Date: August 26, 2006
Time: 0630--1100
Spot(s): Sandy Beach, Queens, Point Panic
Conditions: Patchy and choppy with firm sideshores
Swell: Small south with tradewind wrap
Surf: 1-3'+ Haw'n
Words: Drove to Panics, hoping for a predicted south swell to start firing. It wasn't. Forgot my camera, so I zoomed home, got it, then headed out to Sandys.
Jumped in and savored the fun conditions. Had a really bad wipeout that ended up looking pretty comical. Of course, Ryan was there to capture me in all my glory.
After a while, I headed out to Waikiki where a Legends event was being held. Took some candids, saw Warren Bolster for the last time, then jumped in to shoot from the water at Queens.
Went over to Point Panic where I jumped in for one last photos shoot in deteriorating conditions. Was still fun though.
Aloha from Paradise,
