Here’s the best set of photos I got of the action at Hookipa yesterday with the rare August north swell, starring Kevin Pritchard and Robby Naish. Kevin’s raving about it on his blog.

Luckily for us, as Felicia approached she got sheared apart by trade winds and weakened further by cooler waters. So, we didn’t so much dodge [...]

Showers and light wind along Maui’s north shore this morning where Felicia will hit some time later today. Looking out the window, you’d never know a storm is brewing up wind [...]
