Ocho de Mayo was my 39th birthday, and since it was MY day, I got to do what I wanted, and what I wanted was what I always want…a day at the beach (so in actuality, it wasn’t a lot different from any other weekend). Fortunately, the weather was perfect for sailing. It was blowing [...]

Opelu Sailin’
Here is another sailing video. This shows a couple waves, but once again the wide angle lens really flattens out the surf… The day before this was taken, the wind was about 5-10 knots stronger and the waves were 50% bigger. The rides were 3-4 times as long, and even more fun! Derek (in seat [...]
Sailing Pictures, Steering Paddles, and the Mast Step
First off, here are a couple pictures I got from Michael (He’s the guy allowing me to store the canoe in front of his house). He saw us out sailing on Sunday, and took the time to take some picutes. He even did some editing on a couple of them. I’m really excited to have [...]
NEW CANOE!!!
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 [...]
SUP with the GoPro
Aloha, This is a video made with film I shot back on 19 April. Editing videos has basically choked our laptop. I filled up the hard drive, and it was running way too slow to edit things… So… I bought a new iMac (thanks Nani!)! Now I have a 24″ iMac with all the bells [...]
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 [...]
OC-4 at the Mokes!
OC-4 Surfin’! Join in the fun as Mike takes Derek, Stacey and Eric out for a few waves at the Mokes. This was my first ride in an OC-4, and now I NEED one! That thing is FUN! I called Mike to ask about OC-4′s and get some info on what to buy / where [...]
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 [...]
