Legendary Hawaiian surfer, Duke Kahanamoku once said “Aloha, which means love, is the key word to the universal spirit of real hospitality”. The majority of Hawaiians I’ve met over the years are truly beautiful people who display this philosophy all the time.
December in Hawaii, however, is crowded and as you know the Aloha spirit shown by all races tends to disappear quite quickly once the stress of a packed lineup takes hold. After all, we are all only human. Surprisingly, from what I have seen and heard this year, things have been relatively mellow. I think as a whole, most of us wish share that spirit of “Aloha” with our fellow man, even if we do occasionally divert from the path.
Since my last report from the North Shore the waves have been small, around the 2-3 foot mark, but the power of even a small swell here compared to the same size as home, always blows me away.
The Pipe Masters should be back on tomorrow as a new WNW swell fills in during the day. Stay turned online or Fuel TV for all the action of the Parko/Slater world title show down. Go Parko!
I found this really cool feature on the mechanics of how and why Pipeline breaks the way it does. If you’re a surfer, you will find this really interesting. Click HERE.
