About a month ago, I gave up on my search for a used OC-4, and ordered a brand new one from Jay Dowsett (Kailua Kanu). This is the same design as the red and white canoe we surfed in the “OC-4 at the Mokes” video… After much drooling and anticipation, the canoe is finished! Jay [...]

The surf was still fun on Sunday!
First off, it appears that the pictures don’t open correctly on a PC… I’ll have to try and fix that later… If you copy them somewhere else, and open with another program, they open correctly… Now, to the point of this post… On Sunday morning, there was still some fun surf… I woke up and [...]
The weather improved!
We gave up on the weather, and were headed over the hill to waste some time, when I got a call. The weather is clearing up, and the surf is AWESOME!!! We pulled a U’ey and zoomed back home. I threw the board in the truck and headed to Lanikai Reef. The sets were still [...]
Giant NE Swell 13 March
When I came out of the tunnel on the way home from work, the whole east side was engulfed in one of the biggest NE swells in decades. When I got home, I had 3 voice mails about the surf… The guys were taking the Opelu out and needed more bodies. We couldn’t find anyone [...]

Barney Boat Surf
Join Stacey for a little trip on the “Barney” boat, nicknamed due to it’s purple manu (endpieces) and mo’o (gunwales). Push off Lanikai beach with Mike at the helm, and ride along for an OC-6 surf at the Mokes. The video only shows one wave, but they were surfing for over an hour before the [...]
My first Movie
This was my first movie. It was originally played on Beach Walks With Rox (Beachwalks.TV), but I decided to put it on Funhogs, too (for posterity…). It is called Pau Hana, because it was filmed on a Friday following an early dismissal from work (Aloha Friday). I start with my Pueo OC-1 at Kalama Beach [...]
Kaile Goes to Flat Island
Here is another little video featuring Kaile. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, when she’s in a good mood, we paddle the Pueo. We usually paddle on Kaelepulu Canal, but when the weather is good, we go out in Kailua Bay. This was Tuesday, 3 Feb, and the weather was awesome. She paddled the canoe all the [...]
Surfing Off Flat Island, Kailua
Surfing my Pueo OC-1 off of Flat Island in Kailua on Wed night, 28 January 2009. Perfect conditions for surf, too bad the wide angle cam flattens out the waves so much. They were much bigger than they appear… It’s kinda long, but enjoy anyway. Aloha. Pueo, OC-1, outrigger, Hawaii, Kailua
