Nice post on that video Cajundady, I overheard a conversation in the hardware store the other day With Terry Chun (one of the best surfers you've never heard of) saying he had just got back from Tahiti and that this swell was great but many guys got raked and really busted up. Can't imagine trying to surf that wave in a rabid crowd. Really, can't imagine trying to surf that wave anyway.

Geary, I used to stop in at Lanai on my annual migration between the Big Island and Kauai, would stop in and anchor at white Manele and just paddle into the lineup. Then later on would have to hot foot it from the harbor over to the beach. Friendly folks there at that time, lots of hanakapila (jam sessions, playing music)at the harbor after work in the pineapple fields. Get the lines out, start afire to cook the fish, and bust out the Uks and guitars. Hoota, good times.
