The West Coast of Oahu looking pretty darn good seeing it's stormy in the North

S H A K A

The North Shore of Oahu has been plagued with howling winds lately and bad weather. Kinda like a storm that just doesn’t want to leave the island. Fronts have been lashing this coast for days and everyone is a little twitchy around here. Basically there are very few surfing options with conditions like this.

So…we headed West on the highway…and of course, it’s a completely different day with perfect sunshine and protection from the winds. It’s amazing what a set of huge mountains can block, keeping the bad weather on one side of the island.

Surely these winds will die down tomorrow and the Volcom Pipe Pro will finally kick off.

My palm tree obsession is getting a work out here. Love 'em.

Amazing what those mountains block from the North

Can you hear the Uke in the background?
