Rainy Sunday 27th Jan. Not Big Wednesday....But Maybe Big Monday Tomorrow.

Sunday 27th Jan. The rain has come......I've been soaked twice today, caught out and copping it.

A small day by any measure surf wise, but very nice little OTW barrells for the taking. No photogs on the beach and very few tourists due to the rain periods. When I say small waves, I mean small by Hawaiian standards which still looks ultimately perfect compared to offerings at home on any normal day, although I hear that the Goldy is copping a bit of a flogging from a cyclone at the moment with big swells hitting up the coast.

Today I went and caught up with Jensen Hassett who with any luck will tomorrow paddle out into some nice big solid Pipe bombs with my GoPro camera on his board. We stuck it on his 8 footer ready for an early morning hit on Pipe but now the forecasts are saying it could be coming in bigger than first thought, if that's the case the 8' stick already kitted up with the camera may not be big enough... If it turns out as I'm hoping, there could be some really interesting footage coming up from inside the Pipe Pit, and the flip side of that is that I also could loose my camera if it's that big, we'll see how it goes.

Todays offerings are below.
