Those are some sick shots "briham89"
I really dig the stoke that this thread is generating!
Here's a few images that I shot yesterday afternoon at Hookipa between rain squalls. It was one of those mixed up days with substantial waves, moderate Kona winds and rain squalls. It really wasn't inspiring me to surf so I shot a few photos and talked story with some friends along the way.
Today is more promising. I can here the surf pounding as I write this post.

Let's see some shots of this!!! I'm jealous of where you live. When I'm down with school I'm going to try to move somewhere in Hawaii for awhile.

If you will please indulge me. I think that this route is worth pursuing just a bit further.

Since no one has jumped in and given us a more valid comparison in my opinion,I'm gonna continue with this direction for one more post cause I am a guy and I like to see strong beautiful women athletes in action.

"Kind-a like comparing two beautiful Girls don't you think?"

Yep.

I agree with that analogy, and will take it a step further perhaps by saying that one would be the queen of the rodeo(#1 barrel racer)and the other one a biker babe(that cud kick our azz)! ;)

edit: btw, great pics/thread everybody!

Dogtown, is that righteous barreling pic above P-Pass?

And is that you? If so... rad.

My best surfing pic ever... Ocean Beach last December running a nice northwest swell.

And note, Leavitt, this is the REAL Ocean Beach... although the wave makes that obvious, no? Here's hoping you come back with a nice "assisted surfing" pic, RSL...

"this is the REAL Ocean Beach..."

Better try dropping into a similar sized North OB Jetty barrel, cranking one off the bottom before ya kiss the rocks & then sending it down the line and out the other end...before ya make dem claims, bro!!

EDIT: not that we need any promo's, but a claim is a claim...

Characteristics(per wannasurf/surfline):

Alternitive name: OD Jetty(did i mention the take-off/particularly approaching dubl-o-head)

Wave quality: Regional Classic

Experience: Pros or Kamikazi's only(did i mention the take-off??)

Wave length: Normal day(50-150m) Good day(150-300m)

Power: Hollow, fast, powerful...

Dangers: Man-made(buoys, rocks, etc./did i mention the take-off??) -- Localism -- Polution(from SD River/only after rain).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sounds like a fine wave"

Yea, that's a great shot of you at OB up your way! Pretty clean and off-shore. Def holds a bigger swell.

dinky swell currently, here in Dago'...maybe drag out the lng-board, manana.

havya gotten wet during any of yur soujourns in the Southern Hemisphere?
Perhaps in Phillipe Pomar country(Peru)...

I imagine RL is off chasin the big ones somewhere in the so pacific this time of year(or winding things up on the north shore, perhaps).

I'd love to try...!

From those descripts, it sounds like a fine wave.

(Ours doesn't do so bad in the surfline write-up, either...)

It's the consistent size that makes SF's OB... when I was living in Santa Barbara, where I grew up and learned to surf, swell size like in the pic I posted would be the day of the year...up here, it's nothing overly special, just another day in a good week.

Hey O-Man, is there a source for the beauty art you've been posting? Good stories, too. Wish I could surf like that....have to settle for the drop into Highlands Bowl this time of year....Free your heel, free your....whatever.
