Aloha All:
Sunday morning we had a great morning session at Threes Waikiki. Shark Country (Harry), Oneula (Bernie), Keith Melville, Manoa (Jon) and Uncle D (Dennis) got together to share a few waves, swap a few stories and enjoy each other company. The waves were small and Jon had some nice nose rides on his Cali style point break board. Their were a few “booty tubes”, barrels just big enough to clip your butt.
It was a fun session. Mahalo guys, and we need more sessions like that.
D
stoked for you !
photos , please …
cheers

It was fun although the waves were a bit scarce. Since then the surf has picked up and we are seeing chest high and better out on the West side. Surfin by myself out here boys! In the mornings anyway… Anybody who wants to surf send me a PM and I can meet you, just pick a spot on oahu.
Aloha
Keith
you gonna be there next saturday?
…ambrose…
we can
if folks are interested.
I’m sure sharkbait would show just to meet the great ambrose.
Waikiki is definitely a beautiful wave even if its only 12 inches high and a long paddle to get there. Nothing better than hanging out with friends sharing waves and hoots in the lineup. Too bad the waves and the weather soured but it still was alot of fun.
gotta get one of those hero arm camera’s before the next session or there won’t be any pictures for chippy.
let us know so we can plan for it…
I’ll be there again on Saturday. If three’s get a bit crowded, I 'll paddle out to paradise. I should be in the water between 7 - 7:30 AM.

we call them ‘sack shacks’, if you’re on your forehand. snicker, snicker.
Aloha Oldy:
You are correct and funny too. I am a goofey footer so I am backsiding at Three’s going right… only booty tubes. The lefts are softer so no sack shacks.
Mahalo,

Hilarious! You guy’s are killin’ me!!!
Ambrose, we will be here next Saturday too and happy to meet you for a surf or whatever…sounds like your free time is 2:30 to 5 o clock or so? What’s your favorite break?

Howzit Keith, Three was one of my favorite summer time waves when I lived on Oahu. Mostly short boards back then but so much fun. Aloha,Kokua
Mahalo UncleD for the invite!
It was great to see other sways. I enjoy any moment in hawaiian waters. Can’t wait for my two sons to join the lineup.
There should be another south swell coming…Thursday 24th.
It was a lot of fun, but I felt bad that we chased the others out of the water. I guess that’s how it is when you bring your own crowd.
The last time I surfed that spot was 30 years ago, during the summer of 1978. Bernie and I went out there that summer at least once, and he had that funky bus up twin fin that he’s posted on sways. I think I was using the yellow and white T&C board that’s in the same picture. I remember that you could get tubed 3 times on a wave. I guess if you have a slower board it would be one long tube ride.
Not sure what’s happening for me this Sat. but I’d love to try eight-oh numba one (the first compsand I made) out there.
Shoots, I was just down the street at Bowls that day. Hey, if you guys wanna meet out there Sat. morning I’m game for sure. I did’nt surf Three’s until the late 90s but, since then I’ve been addicted to that place. I happened to accidently meet Roger (Proneman) when he stopped me in the Kaisers parking lot looking for directions to the spot. I recognized his board from the photos posted here which led me to ask him if he was the infamous Proneman. Gimme a holler…

Hey just a heads up. There are box jelly fish warnings for this weekend. Perhaps this not a good time to surf the south shore.
Last month during the influx, guys were getting stung all around me. However, I did noticed that only the good looking people were stung. I was spared!
Derek you might get stung.

Hi Derek,
You guys still bustin your okole? Seems like everyone is maxed out with job requests right now, even us. I got projects that are going to keep me busy through December. Haven’t seen Tom P. out at courts for a long time.
Supposed to be a nice south swell starting today. Maybe we can surf somewhere else like Makaha, or Sharkcountry/Haubush side to avoid getting stung. Bernie no can handle stings, he’s allergic.
Hope to see you soon, Harry

yup
sorry me and box jellyfish or portagee man o war or honey bees don’t get along.
almost bit it once after a man of war wrapped around my leg while surfing during a kona wind storm surf session.
barely made the 1 mile drive home and had to go to barbers point emergency before heart failure.
I still remember surfing courts during a box jelly run and having one go down a guys shorts and wrap around his privates he screamed bloody murder for a while but kept surfing for a bit cause the waves were so good. The whole lineup was laughing as the guy was screaming his complaints to the jellyfish…
There’s a new mutated seeweed in ewa by a place called empty lots that has the name fire seweed which has the same effect as box jelly fish if you touch it. One of my friends had some go down his pants and paid for it for weeks. They said it came from pearl harbor.
needless to say waikiki is out of bounds for me this weekend.
Just spent a few hours at Ala Moana but saw no jellies…
