Ah, hey merg....if you're not going to post Hawaii T&A why bother ?

Peace out

Mf

That is kind of the point of the SUP. I mean I used to go to the beach with a crew of guys every week between Memorial and Labor Day, with a few weekdays thrown in during vacations or whatever. We have all kind of stopped doing that due to responsibilities/marriage/kids/etc. I, however, still have the itch to go do these things and they don't. I am an hour (max) from surfing, and my parents live at the beach. The SUP would give me the option of putting the board on my car and going for a morning (pre-work) paddle somewhere in the sound, or an evening sail at Potlatch, or even let me do a dawn patrol for SRCs/rezzies along some beaches (that would be fun).

Then again, I have a backyard pool, and we have parties break out all summer long. I can guarantee the Traeger would see equal or more use.

I only have one beach buddy currently. He is the guy that lives in my Sister and brother in law's basement. He is a little flakey at best. The best surf is usually early before the summer NW wind picks up, and he is usually 70-100% in the bag at the hour we should be leaving.

I am going to keep thinking about this one.

uh, really watching dudes surfing is pretty gay merg. there i played the gay card. this thread is totally gay! what ever happened to the merg of old? wheres the merg of chicks in every post?

it's sad to see what haw-why-ee has done to you dewd.

Rincon to Dead Mans Cove, who said they totally lost the 60's
We only lost a few weekends!

Ducker!

OK, I am impressed. Totally mysterious. How do they not have their feet glued to the board when they fly up a wave and flip back down?

its all physics....it looks scientifically impossible....it doesnt feel that way though. it happens SO fast you dont really have time to think.

blue water pro -HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA ive heard more stories on the kalanianiole Hwy than any other. its the only highway of any length that is like 45mph and people go slower....so i suppose you could get away with alot more. very funny though. cops out here can be extreme...either way...lenient to the max or "haole hating" cuff you for littering.

yesterday at fullpoint ( left of sandy beach)



same spot...and this guy came out at about noon...he lives 2 minutes down the street

Kekoa is a pretty solid guy. started a non-profit to get a friend (girl) to nationals when she lost her sponsor 4 weeks before the comp. Very humble. my chiro is friends with him and ive talked to him every now and then...



yeah ive heard its gotten better...more diversification. really i laugh. the asians are OVER-RUNNING this place. yet they hate whitey for ( on paper) taking over the islands..but in real life..the asians are breeding them out, and own 85 something % of the land thats available?!?!?!?!.it is a mystery to me. i got nothing against asians..im no racist...just a realist...they cant drive worth a ****. Add that to the fact that per capita i guarentee you we have the highest population of OLD (60+) asian's actually DRIVING...GOODNIGHT!!!! yet i only see them pulled over when they've gotten in an accident ( literally, 4 times a week i see). i have 2 friends i surf with that are 39+ aged HPD cops. coolest guys i know. but they even tell me its still really bad. whatever. honestly...its worth it all. this place rocks how did you move back?

who are your friends....ill ask my guys if they like know

Great shots, that headcam thing is sweet. I agree with you wholeheartedly about the confusion with regard to who gets hassled...I think its just a general sentiment that is leftover from different days before 85% of the island was asian-owned. I only got hassled by drunk Hawaiians, and that was usually around Waikiki when I went there occasionally to go to Moose's or some other bar. Parts of Hawaii I miss, most things I dont though. I definitely miss being in the water and living the aloha lifestyle...2 very very cool things to get to do in life.

keep the shots coming Merg...oh and shoots, you owe me a triple overhead air-drop while wearing that headcam brah.

nah...i give respect to the hawaiians and locals alike...i can surf this whole island because i know when to say.." yeah, no problem bruddah" and do what they say. You have to know your place...and hawaii aint the U.S. you may think it is...but it aint. So you use your head and swallow your pride. its all good anyhow.

MERG, Please post pics of hot chicks with killer asses and big hooters...the weather sucks balls in Wa and we are getting starved for some beach tail,,,,,thanks in advance!

Here's a link to a page about surfing a big tide change in the Skookumchuck Narrows up by Sechelt on BC's Sunshine Coast. About half way down the page on the left there's vid of the surfer bein towed in and set loose. The tide rips thru there:

I found the link on this Vancouver Island surf site. It's a segment of the main site CoastalBC.com which covers all types of recreation on VI. I stumbled across it looking for a vaca rental in Ucluelet when my bros and I towed my boat up to fish and dive in Barkley /Sound:

How about surfing an Amazon River tidal bore for a long ride:

i never did get the tidal wave surfing thing...i mean if you got the itch...by all means scratch that mofo, i aint getting down on anyone wanting to surf....but after surfing actual waves...i feel like i would just paddle in, get a heated 5/5/5 and catch some of that crazy AK surf i been hearing bout. It looks to much like masturbation to me. i feel like if you could troll WHILE surfing that wave....now we are getting somewhere.

Here are some pics from the Skookumchuck Narrows up by Sechelt during a spring tidal event. People from National Geographic were there filming because of the major tidal changes that were taking place. It is a short walk in to view the action.

The first one is my B-I-L in his kyak. He is an older guy but loves to surf, kayak, climb etc. Pretty awsome ride!

well then that makes sense. youve changed my opinion. : )

MEGA huge storm in the middle of the Pacific today...Have fun tomorrow Merg...

Blue water pro do you know Sam Kuaaina over on Maui thats who I hang with when we trip over, his boys are both lifeguards he lives in Wauiluku. Was there in early December when the big surf was in, my left knee is still hammered? Megatroid I still scream like a baby when I watch a tube closing out in front of me their is no better adrenaline rush than catching a good wave and closing it out and I am 55 and can still hang with the skinny guys, but I see a long board in my future !!!PEACE

this is all very QUEER! merg have you switched teams? wheres the pasties?

Mergantroider used to post all these ramblings about how much vag he could pull after reading psychology books. I'm beginning to think there's more pulling going on here,and it ain't chicks.
