So, I've really turned into a big fan of surfing over the last few years. I watch every movie I can find. I'm happy to be a fan from afar.
Needless to say, I was very excited to head to the north shore yesterday where the waves are intense in the winter.
First
stop was Sunset Beach. Again, my good camera is broken so I wasn't able
to get any worthwhile shots of surfers as they are pretty far off
shore. There's "no swimming" signs posted on all north shore beaches
but that doesn't stop the surfers or others from frolicking on the
shore.
Sunset is great for surfer watching but the bottom near the shore is alot of rock/coral. Here's me tempting fate.
Next, we headed south to Waimea Bay. Here's me in our rented Wrangler overlooking the bay.
Parking is a bitch up north so we ended up parking on the road. From
above the waves didn't look to promising but I soon found the best
boogie boarding of my life.
My girlfriend had a hard time catching
me in action with the camera. In one shot you'll see just the very top
of my head as the wave came crashing down. I had one bad ride in which
I rode too far out front and slammed hard on the shore, jarring my
shoulder and neck.
