For a stretch there we had insane perfection day in and day out on the North Shore. Not giant tow in stuff but many days of perfect waves anywhere from 4’ to 15’. Winds shifted back and forth between E and SW which made many spots just fire including Pipe. Pipe had EPIC DAYS!!! Here’s some pics coming from a few weeks of bliss…
One of our out of the way spots we scored for a few days in a row ranging from 5’ up to 8’… We pulled up last Wed afternoon and it was still doing it… We brought Gerry Lopez fresh off the plane to this and he was stoked!
Gerry on a smaller one of many good ones. Easy to get all the waves you want when its only us out…
Same spot 6’+ and going off…
15’ on an outer reef and PERFECT!!!
Same day as above I surfed this right with one friend and it was some of the best waves I’ve ever had… Just freaking roping PERFECTION!!! The inside wave is double overhead… I rode a 10-6 sup board and got the waves I dream of… It was like Jefferies Bay on steroids. I shot this as I was leaving totally surfed out…
Perfect Pipe happened more than once. PLENTY CHANCES to surf perfect big pipe, medium pipe and even small pipe came and went…
Backdoor did its thing MANY times too…
Even the small days were perfect… So many barrels ridden…
This left is like a reverse Sunset. You can get bombs out the back and if you get the right one you can make it all the way through… OR get your a$$ handed to you!
Tube rides are always the goal and so far this winter we’ve been having our share…
The gnarly rains came and wreaked havoc on the North Shore but the waves kept pumping with perfect texture… Muddy Perfection
My friend Keoki and I couldn’t resist… I lucked out and had a quick dry hair session… It was PERFECT!!!
Here I’m staying dry with the grinding bacteria trying to eat me… Was it smart to surf? Nope, but this dummy got perfection…
Jet stream has changed and perfection is going to be sporadic at best in the near future but we had a damn good run. Water is still dirty but I don’t care… The few days off are welcome. Weeks of perfection can wear you out!!!
