Bundle of nerves....

Here's the crew getting ready. He borrowed someones board ( a shorter one) but unfortunately it disabled him during competition. he did really good, but today was not the day to try a board you never have used!!
Checking out the waves. Tiki girl hiding behind him when the white wash came up real fast! She knew this is not swimming material!

Off to do his best. the waves were not 15-20 feet. (Thank God). Yet they were probably 8-10 feet, and pretty choppy!. I had a hard time filming him because the waves that were behind him were huge... it was very nervy.
Besides surfing, they had canoe surfing. It holds 4 men ( or women) and they take off on bomb waves! Alika was asked to be in one . When these guys wipe out....it is SCARY TO WATCH!!!

Glad it's over....i can relax....

I tried watching Blue Crush yesterday - didn't see it all, got interrupted. Anyway there were parts that looked very scary, then again parts were beautiful.
Glad Alika is fine. As we were watching it Tom said "that's going to be Tiki someday".

I LOVE YOUR PICS! You really captured the moment. I'm sorry Alika didn't win, I'm sure that will only make him more determined in the future. Watch out!

Is this Makaha? The mountain range in the background looks like the Wai'anae mountain range - I go hiking back there so it looks real familiar!

canoe surfing is carzy - I've done it a handful of times and the adrenaline rush is like nothing else - its also pretty dangerous. My friend dislocated his hip when the canoe rolled on top of him as they were bring it to shore - filled with water! Thats some awesome pics - and the one with Tiki hiding behind dad is really cute!
