Saturday Morning

Surf: 2.0 ft at 13.3 s from the NNW at 331°.

Headed back up to the North Shore today. The surf was looking a little mixed up, but man, the weather was amazing. There was a sunshower while we watched Hale’iwa and a beautiful rainbow. Woo.

We drove around a while checking spots before deciding to see if one spot would clean up. It didn’t, but we took a crack at it anyway. Lots of short rides that either doubled up or died out. Not terrible, I’ve surfed worse, but nothing epic.

After we went back to Hale’iwa to watch the surf comp and nap on the beach. The pros really know how to work a wave. Most of those waves were junk, but they still managed to pull off a face where it looked like there was nothing but closeouts. Super fun to watch, but I was out cold after one heat which is pretty much what I do watching the heats online.

Friday Afternoon

2013-HIOHA-11-22

Surf: 2.0 ft at 11.1 s from the NNE at 21°.

Headed north in the afternoon. The surf was pretty small on the North Shore, but we got pies at Ted’s, drove around, looked at stuff. Eventually we paddled out for a bit at Hale’iwa. I haven’t surfed the fish in ages, so it was nice to get my feet in the wax. The waves were super small so I mostly wobbled around.

Afterwards, we drove around the windward side for more scenery gawking and macadamia nuts. After a slow drive, we got malasadas and took them over to Dan’s friend’s place where he made us the most amazing gnocchi dinner. Wow. The food on this trip has been just awesome. Hawaiians know how to eat.
