You’ve got to see this series. Insane. Click here. The interface is a little confusing–there’s a blue next button at the top right of the images. For the multi-shot images like this one you can scroll forward and back by running your cursor sideways across the photo. Cool interface, but takes a bit of playing […]

I’ve created a social network–like Myspace–for Stand Up Paddle Surfing a http://standuppaddle.ning.com/. A new experiment. I’ll probably build a few more if people enjoy them.

An article on how to do stand up paddle surfing, an article on how to windsurf a longboard, and this one.

I was driving along the Hana Highway headed for Kanaha Beach park to go surfing. Just as I passed Ho’okipa I noticed three standup surfers and one longboarder out in the waves.
