A couple of weeks ago Diane got a new long lens for the Nikon–a 180 to 500MM. I just downloaded the pictures to my computer–some of them are pretty neat.
She put the long lens on our big tripod and this was the first shot she got:
Here’s the second:
Nice job, kid.
There’s a few more shots on [...]

Back in Portland. Had a great time surfing the last week, even caught one good day of longboard sailing. The last two days I needed to get the place in order and put my toys away. Naturally the wind came up so I spent a lot of time looking at the whitecaps and my windsurfing [...]

I dropped by the Ding King today on my way to Kanaha to windsurf (it was pretty good today, light and gusty inshore but howling once you got past the reef). Gave Mark my lovely Jimmy Lewis 11′7″ board to put a mast track into. Once he told me what he’s going to do my [...]

An article on how to do stand up paddle surfing, an article on how to windsurf a longboard, and this one. I’m unqualified because in relative terms I’m a rank beginner at the first two things, and for [...]

Whoo-wee, what a day. Got to Kanaha about 11:00 am and rigged up the 6.3 superfreak sail and grabbed the big Ding King standup paddleboard with the mast track. The wind was light inside, with whitecaps on the reef. Nobody else out on longboards, it was all folks with footstraps. Does that make me an [...]

Several people asked me why Hawaiians measure waves in a manner that makes them SMALLER than elsewhere. I didn’t have a clue, so I did some research. People often say that Hawaiian measure is from the back of the wave, but that’s not really true. For one thing you can’t see the back of the [...]
