High Surf Advisory. High Wind Warning

A wind advisory means thats strong winds of 30 MPH with frequent gusts above 50 MPH are expected.
High surf warning remains in effect until 4 PM HST Tuesday...surf along North facing shores will be 30 to 40 feet through Tuesday.
The perfect storm for the first man out to get some attention....and why not, this shit was radical. The bluff was packed with pros and as always I got a little star struck seeing Robbie hanging out. What's with the peculiar rush most of us feel when we see a celeb? Anyway, tomorrow is going to be sick, and I'd call in sick to watch it, but as I just took a four day weekend........Bollocks.

PS: I don't thinks the photo's do the conditions justice, so if you want more evidence here's a video.

That's the Swiss sailor Pascal Bronnimann. If you send me the photos, I'll forward them to him.

Actually I'll forward you his email, so that you can do it yourself... just in case you like blonde dreadlocks... ;-)

Nice shots!

Thanks Gents: I forgot to mention each time a brave soul went out, it was not for long! It's usually me (the spectator) that heads in before the sailor...not yesterday!
