Happy Aloha Sunday surfing community!! We had our first gloomy(ish) grey day in a while. But todays surfing Sunday Funday had a lot of “surfing” stuffs going on. One being the massive swell (and still growing Eddie Aikau) contest that’s been going off - this is like our (surfers) Super Bowl! However, what makes it so special is it can only run when the “Bay Calls the Day” ie. the swell is deemed perfect by Hawaiian culture standards and the green light can only be considered a GO from the Aikau family members. HOwever, sadly, on a somber note, which is maybe why the whether was so dismal today, yet the waves and conditions were so dreamy AND the fact that today is the first time the Eddie has ran in 7 years, we lost one of the most influential surfing pioneers today, Pat Curren may your Rest in Peace ~ moe i ka maluhia!

Hahaha, shoots, even Colorados was throwing down a little swell down that a way too! What a spectacular day, for January.

Yeaaaaah BUDDY!!! I saw him going for a couple cover ups. . . and this was still pretty high tide. I bet tomorrow on the low low, it will be barreling if we’re lucky enough to get these same (non-windy) conditions.

I couldn’t help (actually I don’t think I’ve ever posted a non-real surfing pic) but in this case since the Eddie is running today, I came across this incredible painting by Brazilian artist, Hilton Alves of this NUTSO vision and painting of Waimea Bay. You can check out some of his crazy latented art here: Hilton Alves ART 

So that’s a wrap. . . I have to get back to watching the massive waves and surfing, like I said, it’s like our Super Bowl! BUT, for now I’ll leave you with what Turtle said best . . . “ "Shocktothabodakazanothinbradafrada!"” Jaaa ~
