Riding in the Barrel... and the Coil and Release of Time


 

In Critical moments like riding in the barrel, there is a coil and release of time, like a metal spring (or a slinky going down the stairs). Time will coil up, compress as it slows down, and a focused state of flow can add to the enjoyment of living in the moment. Then the coil of time will release, and time will rapidly fly by. that's why they say time flies when you are having fun.

My Reply to Nathan Florence on My NEAR DEATH SITUATION in Hawaii

FOR THE DREAM TICKETS! https://www.ticketmaster.com/for-the-... A lot of people told me to go check out the Nathan Florence analysis on my near death situation in Hawaii (youtube.com/watch?v=Z8HQBA4dh_8) I already had a lot of respect for Nate as a surfer & a business man, but it was great to see how he came across on the video with the utmost of respect and speaking about the situation in a way that will actually help people if they watch this video. He goes into a backstory about a session in which he was STUCK BETWEEN A RIP CURRENT AND A SET WAVE & then touches on my situation. All in all a great video & I hope you enjoy my reply! Thanks!!

PIPELINE | 3rd REEF MADNESS! | MASSIVE 3RD REEF CLEAN UP SET! | 11.26.21

8-12 ft, Occasional 25 footer! X10! WHAT! The lineup was thin... Jeff Hubbard was out, along with a few surfers and a handful of other bodyboarders... When all of the sudden, the horizon went black! A 10 wave MONSTER SET FROM HELL rolled in. We saw it long before the lineup did... WOW! All but one guy got washed to the beach during the onslaught of madness. No one was hurt, thankfully. I have filmed, watched, and swam Pipeline quite a bit over the last couple of years and I have to say that this was a first for me. I have seen macking 2nd reef days with the occasional 3rd reef clean up but never an 8-12 foot day that had this big of a 3rd reef set. It was a spectacle!

Kata on Surfline

It's always fun to find one of my friends on Surfline. Check out my buddy Kata in the Duke's shirt (second from the left).


I got to surf this board in Hawaii on my last trip. Kata had a 7'6" Egg and he let me use it at tennis courts. Man that was an awesome day head high with plus sets and I'm so happy that I was able to use this board, I need to add one of these Surftech boards to my quiver for sure.

Humpback whales go for a surf at Pipeline

Mother and calf catch a set wave at the iconic spot on Oahu's North Shore; rare event is photographed by J.T. Gray

A photographer has captured what might be the only image showing large whales riding a wave at iconic Banzai Pipeline on Oahu’s North Shore.
J.T. Gray of North Shore Surf Photos arrived Saturday to find a late-season swell had shown, minus the hordes of surfers that generally greet each swell.
As a bodyboarder was catching one wave, two humpback whales materialized in a larger second wave and rode the swell just long enough for Gray to capture the moment.
While it’s common for dolphins to ride waves, this is rare behavior for a large whale species.

“The whales were 75 to 100 yards east of Pipeline and playing for a while, then swam to about 10 yards outside of the lineup,” Gray told GrindTV. “A set came in and the bodyboarder caught the first wave, and the humpbacks caught the second.”
Gray added, “Whales frequent Hawaii in the winter months, but never that close to shore.”
The rare image was posted to Ocean Defender–Hawaii’s Facebook page on Monday, and as of Tuesday morning it had been shared more than 4,000 times. Gray gave permission for its use for this story.
He said the whales were a mother and calf, and it’s possible that the whales were just playing, but it’s also possible that the mother was keeping tabs on her stray calf.
Said Ocean Defender’s Oriana Kalama, “Yes, it’s the first time anyone has seen a humpback surf or get that close to the waves, but they do get really close to shore. Humpbacks sing, breach, and, if you ask me, they dance too. If you ever have the chance to see them underwater, you would see how much they seem to enjoy to move their pectoral fins and, in a way, flirt with each other when in groups.
“So why wouldn’t they surf, too? After all, they are Hawaiians by birth.”
