Eddie Would Go

I have been wicked busy soaking up the sun here in Hawaii for the holidays. I will begin posting more soon. Happy holidays all!

PEACE to you all!

Aloha

Hello friends!

I certainly have been slacking on the posts, not to say that I have not been creating a lot of images - I just have had very few rolls developed and even fewer scanned.

I am in Hawaii now for the rest of the month and I did not even pack my digital camera - which is a first for my Hawaii trips. All I brought with me was my Nikon FM-10 (manual 35mm) and my Mamiya 645 (manual medium format). After Hawaii it is off to San Francisco at the beginning of July, I will hopefully get a few rolls developed and scanned there.

For now, enjoy this shot taken by my dad. This is me on a paddleboard in Kaneohe Bay, a paddleboard is like a surfboard but is almost 13 feet in length and much thicker. You stand up on it and use a paddle to propel yourself.

Peace!

who needs waves to surf?


peace!

north shore!

the fabled north shore of oahu - surfing's hallowed grounds. this 7 mile strip of beach is home to the world's most famous (and infamous) surf breaks - sunset, backdoor, log cabins, waimea bay, and of course the heaviest of them all, pipeline. funny thing is, during the summer time the water's of the north shore are calm as a bath tub but come winter and the shift of the swells some of the gnarliest sets around roll through.
it has been a strange winter and swells have been few and far between. today saw 8-12 (4-6 hawaiian) foot faces - nothing to gawk at for sure. hawaiians measure their waves from the back, so in california would be considered a 20 footer is merely 10 in hawaii. this is because hawaiians measure from the back of the wave, the front of a wave has a large concave to it from the vaccum like swirl it produces, whcih makes the face of the wave twice the size of the back.

shreddin sandy's

sandy beach is arguably one of the heaviest body board spots in the world (not to mention the neck and back injury capitol of oahu). even though it is winter time a few decent sets rolled through.
