Yep. Still here. Here in Hawaii that is. The weather gods have been kind and there has been plenty of cranking waves. Bet you didn’t know: Hawaii is the 50th state of America. It was the last to join and is dubbed the fittest state in the USA. That’s because everyone is surfing all day […]
Trades
It’s been big and onshore here in Hawaii. Today is the first day in quite some time that the wind has gone back to it’s traditional trades. Very strange conditions for this time of year. Oahu still has plenty to do when the surf ain’t cranking…it’s an amazing island. Don’t forget it’s Valentines tomorrow…come visit […]

Aloha. I read the Hawaiian surf forecast for today. “Cross shore winds, 2-3 footers that will grow and sundown could be triple head high.” Oh…only triple head high. Shame the westerly winds are spoiling it cause it’s gonna get huge. Maui/Jaws is gonna pump (good winds for over there). What cracks me up is everyone […]

We’ve got some annoying onshore winds on the North Shore that are wreaking havoc. These nemesis winds are here for a few days so the surf action has died down and you are looking at the outtakes from the recent good times. I’m sure the East Coast would be hosting something enjoyable to surf (offshore […]

I’ve made my annual pilgrimage to the Mecca of surfing, Hawaii’s North Shore. I like it here. I hope you do too as the next few weeks of Aquabumps is going to be broadcasted from the rogue shores of this volcanic fiery island. Upon arrival the surf has been pumping, of course. Not much going […]
Quiet
The recent wet scared many from a beach visit this morning. Bondi was all quiet. Finally there are waves to talk about. Really sloppy ones but they broke around head high on the sets. The conditions should clean up during the day and the sunshine will come out. Wednesday looks like fun for surfers. I […]

Hey there, I’m back in Bondi. Did you miss me? Bondi was kinda grey and 1 foot this morning. Quite a bit of chop on it also…yeah I know, that stinks. Everyone’s over at Manly anyway watching the Australian Open of Surfing. Looks tiny though. Live My last day in Hawaii was incredible. Why? The […]
Aquatic Playground
People ask me all the time what’s so good about Hawaii. In a nutshell it is just one big aquatic playground. Na, not just for surfing…but anything to do with the ocean. The water temp. and land temp. are very similar so you can spend most of your day swimming, snorkelling, surfing, windsurfing or just […]

It’s been really stormy here in Hawaii. I know, I know these pictures depict glorious sunny days. Well…I shot these a few days ago…but it can be stormy on the North Shore and crystal blue and sunny on the East Coast. The island of Oahu can be a little fickle with the weather, especially seeing […]
B E F O R E
You’ve probably already heard through global news that there is a MONSTER swell hitting the Hawaiian Islands right now. I’m getting messages from all over the place wondering what it looks like here. To be honest I don’t know what all the fuss is about. When I went for my morning coffee down the road, […]
Shack Shaker
The big swell has arrived in Hawaii and I can hear water rushing under the house as I write this. Yep you read right, our shack is built on jetty piles and wash gets under the house and sometimes into the backyard. This doesn’t make for a good night’s rest with all the rumbling and […]
North Shore
Good morning from Aloha land. Since we last talked the swell has picked up from 2-3 foot to 6-8 foot Hawaiian…and it’s coming in strong. That big, inbound mack-daddy-swell is definintely starting to file in. By Friday it will be huge. Still not big enough for the Eddie! The winds are up and from the […]

Aloha from the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Yes we’re alive! It’s been so nice here on the North shore lately. A gentle Kona wind has been holding back the trades meaning some arvos have been super glassy. Swell is small for here (but waves are still overhead high). A monster swell is brewing though…it will […]
