April 18,19-Spring Breaks : The first real swell of the season.Three to eight foot plus faces.Near perfect ocean and land conditions.The ocean slowly sets-up as the natural Island tradewinds  replaces strong storm-driven onshore breezes.The boys (and a few girls ) are in for a treat.

1st High Advisory of the 2008 Season : A much anticipated High Surf Advisory South swell arrived midweek,peaking before the weekend.The lucky riders able to dodge the normal work week were rewarded with prime wave selection.Still,there was a large group of bodysurfers in the early morning hours waters hoping to ride the 4 to 8ft wave faces .Overcast skies,variable easterly winds,and an all-day low tide made for challenging conditions.
  There are not too many still photos in this folder as video was used as the main record keeping.
Aloha,
Doug

Point Panic Sept Swells : Best swell of 2008.Without a doubt this is the best swell to hit O'ahus South Shore in four years.Excellent water and weather conditions with very good sized   10ft plus wave faces.A few bodies were introduced or re-acquainted with Point Panic's wave-hardened coral reef but there were no (knock-on-wood) serious human injuries.
 There's still time for another 2008 Prime swell!!!Let's keep hoping...
 Aloha,Doug
