Fantastic capture! I bet that was a fun day for everybody

Definitely an early start and something like a record 50,000 people crowded around Waimea Bay to watch.

When I got this shot, around 2 PM, I decided to call it a day. Think I left my Waikiki condo around 3 or 4, and I didn’t want to get stuck in traffic with that many people on a two-lane road.
🤙🏼💙🏄‍♂️

talk story

Ha ha ha… I would have loved to see the final heat and the winning wave, but I was falling asleep on the drive home as it was.

I was also parked two miles from Waimea Bay, so I’d hiked there at 5 in the morning, and knew I still had to hike all the way back.

The guys running the parking were sitting, drinking beer and watching the traffic still heading to Waimea Bay. When I walked up, I asked if they had one for me, and they gave me a chair and grabbed me a beer. Sat and /talkstory for a little while before I drove home (away from the traffic).

Wow! That is pretty awesome Jason. Smart thinking to leave early! I could imagine the headache being in all that. No thanks, plus you get a better spot leaving early. Cheers to think ahead lol.
