Infront of the lens

It's been a long while since I've had some surf shots of myself, I broke down and bought these from the local photog at Hookipa.  He doesn't usually get alot of shots at Lanes as he usually shoots straight out front at Hookipa, so I was lucky to get a couple.

And yes, I'm a chronic spraywatcher..

Aloha Friday

 

Another clean morning with leftovers from yesterday.  Light crowd and fairly consistent made for a good long session.  I even went right a couple times today.

Meanwhile on Maui

New swell filled in overnight as it was only shoulder high yesterday.  Lanes was the place to be as the point was full of rip and current.  I prefer Lanes anyways cause I don't really care for going right.  Light winds and there were photogs on the bluff so I'm hoping for a couple shots to be posted later today.

Took a couple sneaker sets on the head, easily DOH+ but it breaks in pretty deep water so a board ditch and dive worked fine.

Helpin Out a Sistah

Mary has broken her leg badly. She is in pain and in need of your help. Because she lives in the most advanced and wealthiest country on Earth she is not able to access free medical health care.

Let's raise some money so that, at the least, we, her friends, can collectively relieve some of the stress and despair that is no doubt going through her mind as she contemplates the very real and tough decisions that come with trying to pay ridiculous costs in a land that cries freedom and then shackles the 99% with prohibitive health care costs. Let's help her to not have to face every waking moment deciding between bad options. Let's give her cause to at least raise a smile today at the idea that her fellow surfers, and others beyond, care enough about her well being that they are willing to put their money where their mouths are and donate a little bit of cash to help her in her time of trouble. For she is, in short, a dudette, a mother, great roll model and someone we all call friend.

Help raise a surprised smile today.

Here's the link to the donation drive .
