drljefe, It has been awesome to shoot this stuff! The problem is the volume of material is overwhelming.
If it paid cash I would be on it full time but there is so much competition and so little compensation.
I do get the respectful head nod occasionally.
I walked by one dude that was shooting from the bluff and asked if he knew who was out.He said "yes" and then ignored me. a-hole.
I will post more soon.
BTW Shaun Walsh is my neighbor and a good kid.

This is going to be interesting!
Could the next swell actually be on par with the epic El Nino beasts of ’69 & ’98? This from the National Weather Service Honolulu Office today: “Models are showing a surface low pressure deepening to hurricane force west of the dateline 1/19, tracking east across the dateline near 40°N 1/20, continuing east to near 165°W near 40°N Tuesday, then turning north into Wednesday. This should make for giant surf by the wee hours 1/22 from within 290-330 degrees. The track, track speed, size, and depth of central pressure are similar to low pressure systems that generated giant surf locally of January 28, 1998, February 23, 1986, and December 1 and 4, 1969. It is too early for specifics, other than noting that this could potentially be the type of surf episode on order of decadal turn-around…”

You gotta be kidding me.
The coolest thing with climbing and surfing is that there are no limits.
The continuum of progression.
Kids onsight 14c, bust consistent airs.
Bigwalls get freed and soloed.
Guys are paddling into macking Peahi and getting tubed like it's head high.
And in both sports you can do your thing, at your level, and still be as challenged or stoked as someone on an elite level.

Good post drljefe!
It's gonna be MAKKIN' today!
I woke to a steady rain and heavy cloud cover. The road into Jaws will be a disaster so I am going to work. My job is right around the corner from my house so I'll be at the beach all day and will keep an eye on my own back yard. I hope every one that has intentions to give the ocean a try is well prepared for what they are getting into!
Here's another shot from last Sunday.

As it turned out I did go out to Peahi yesterday and it was a total zoo!
The largest waves were in the late afternoon but it was really big all day.
All the old tow in crew and many of the new guard were towing. Laird,Dave Kalama,Buzzy Kerbox to name a few. Laird went over the falls and really got worked!
They were also filming some stuff for the movie "Point Break II".
Two of my friends and I were at the beach here at Kuau yesterday evening and we had to climb a tree to keep from being washed away by a very large set! I'm not kidding!
It's still big so I think I'll go back out to Peahi again today.
Here's some random shot from yesterday at Jaws

Jaws has really been delivering the goods and yesterday was no exception!
The swell had dropped and the wind backed off making for really clean conditions.
Also most of the heavy hitters had caught flights to events in California and Mexico.
There were some of the most awesome waves that I have ever seen going un-ridden.
I thought this sequence was fairly cool.

All the old tow in guard and most of the new crew were tow in. Looks like in that wave of the year vid that he paddled in. Didn't show how he caght the wave, but it doesn't look like he's locked into footstraps (maybe they don't use them for tow in anymore.) How big a waves are they paddling into there? Great shots and vid!
edit: JohnM - semi's are about to kick off at Maverick's 4:15.
check out 'the boneyard' lookin gnarly!

Looks like in that wave of the year vid that he paddled in splitter, the 19th was entirely a paddle-in day at Peahi and a lot of bombs were ridden. It was the best paddle in day that I have seen at Jaws so far.
It seemed like all the heavy big wave chargers were there and most of them were paddling out from the bluff. I should have taken the time to shoot photos of the guys in the parking area as they came in or before they paddled out but I was too busy at my camera stand on the bluff. I was exhausted from 5 straight hours in the sun pushing the shutter button.
I have already posted several images from the 19th and need to put them all together and post them on one of my blogs.I'll post a link when that is done.
As far as how big goes I don't know but most of the guys are in the six foot range.Cheers, Olaf
