No local time today.

I am sure most of you are thinking this guys always posts pictures of Honlula Bay, are there no other waves in his neighborhood? Well…not really, the surf live in Winter on Westmaui pretty much revolves around H-Bay. There are some other spots here and there depending on swell direction but not really worth mentioning. So as far as the beloved Bay goes, it was an average day today sets in 2-4 range with the usual crowds.

My thought was: Today I post the picture I took of the guy painting at the Reef Hawaiian Pro 2009. I made the surroundings black and white to make the picture pop a little more.

Muss jetzt kochen gehen.

Contest update

Carissa Moore wins the Gidget Pro at Sunset. This girl simply surfs amazing. I saw her surfing at HSSA event in Ho’okipa surfing better than all the boys. She is only 17 years old and will join the women ASP next year after her High School graduation.

In second place came Sally Fitzbibbons from Australia and in third the current World Champion Stephanie Gillmore also from Australia. The 4th place went to Alana Blanchard who won the Vans Pro in Hale’iwa.

So far the Hawaiians look good on the leader board, 3 Events were won each time by a Hawaiian.

The men’s round today did not go further than the Round of 128. From a European point of view there is still hope. Ruben Gonzalez from Portugal advanced in his heat and Aritz Aranburu from Euskati had will be surfing tomorrow in Round of 96. Unfortunately Hodei Collazo did not advance from his heat today.

The swell was picking up today and is expected to be at his peak within the next day, so it is looking good for the event to be on tomorrow.

Aloha,

Mike
