NEW IPHONE

Hanalei fish. Not bad for iphone shots. It got wet, so i figured, fuck it...see how long it lasts underwater. NOT LONG. Just enough for these two shots. Not sure what these fish are, but they tasted good. (The locals weren't to happy with me taking fish off the reef, but hey, they're fish).

BACK AND FORTH

Leaving for Hawaii again on the 2nd, going only for 2 days this time. Think I'll spend more time in the air than on the ground. With any luck I'll get a picture of good surf or at least something cool. I'm excited, just ordered a new board from MANDALA-a stubbie quad, check em out at : www.mandalacustomshapes.com Last time I surfed a quad was in 1984, just moved to OREGON, all I had was a 3/2 with no sleeves. Below is the photo from the Chetco River in Brookings, complete with the Coast Guard issue gloves.

Yeah sure. it's Hawaii, but...there's 37 guys in the water. Not just 37 guys....37 HAWAIIAN GUYS.
I can hold my own, but 37 guys for 2' surf? I can do that at home, and get waves. This is the 3rd time I've been to Hawaii in the last month. Each time it gets smaller and smaller...This trip was the longest, meaning I had to work more. Next time.
