  • Over the course of a 48 hours waves on the North Shore went from sloppy to big round and scary some choose to spectate rather than participate. Sunset doing it's thing.
  • Big or small Steven Sawyer has an answer for the conditions.
  • Davey Brand gets to wake up and walk from his backyard straight into the surf.
  • It can get cold in Hawaii, Steven dons a wetsuit to brave the elements and fight off wax rash at Rockky Lefts.
  • Waiting for a gap to paddle can be a daunting task.
  • Just when you think you are safe a set breaks on the outer reefs.
  • You wait patiently paddle into a wave get blasted and repeat the process all over again.
  • Steven Sawyer caught one of the bigger waves as the swell went from head high to over head in 60 minutes.
  • Jack Johnson grows beards and enjoys surfing too.
  • A lot of surfing the bigger conditions on the North Shore is all mental, calm and relaxed is the way to be.
  • Seth Moniz on a wave twice his size, probably a good thing because the set behind was three times his size.
  • Maya Gabeira getting some paddle practice at Sunset.
  • All along the 7 mile stretch waves were being ridden, even at Pipe.
  • Some guys get photo incentives so they work hard for those dollars.
  • Rock Piles is in plain open sight but it has the reputation of a hidden gem.
