Waikiki

The Bay called the day!

No go for the Eddie. With an occasional 20ft wave the directors watched inconsistant surf, added up the waves and new it wasn't the call to have the event run! We still have until the end of February so hold on tight for the next swell.

Eddie Aikau 2010-11

The North Shore is buzzing with people anxious to see if the event will run on Thursday. A monster storm in the pacific has a swell approaching with estimated waves of 15-18ft. The Eddie however is supposed to run only if the waves are 20ft+. All the people on their way over the pacific now may only get a vacation. Time will tell. Let's hope for some pumping 20ft action!

Pipemaster 2010

It's a wrap. The Billabong Pipemaster/Van's Triple Crown ended in fine fashion Thursday with nice glassy overhead barrels. Although mostly all were backdoor, the breaks provided for some amazing sick rides. Kelly Slater scoring on the best ride of the day in the quarters was not able to overcome the buzzer beater by Jeremy Flores. Flores brings home the first win ever by a European from the Pipe. In the finals against Kierron Perrow Jeremy did the same thing. Never giving up and waiting for the best waves after being in a combo, Flores got the same kind of score just like against Slater.

Slater's Last Comp?

Kelly Slater will surf Heat3 Round 6 with John John Florence. Good luck Kelly!

Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Van's Triple Crown Round 3 on hold

You guessed it! Round 3 is on hold today. None other than John John Florence is lucky enough to surf against Kelly Slater in heat 6 of the 3rd round. John John is a local and grew up right here on the North Shore a stones throw away from Pipeline. I believe he started surfing Pipe at age 7. Now at age 18, he stands poised to move up into the ranks of the best in the world.

This may be the final event of Slaters amazing career. He may now retire for the second time and who could blame him. I think many will cheer! What an astonishing way to go out. KS10
