Funny how simple things can get you thinking about past or future surfing trips

Hawaiian hula girl Grandad popped around the other day and gave me a bag of Hula girl coffee from the islands. I made a cup this morning whilst sat watching the cold northerly winds and grey skys over Swansea Bay. 

Wow, what a taste, it is lush and even though I planned not to go back 2 the North Shore this winter I have decided that perhaps a  2 or 3 week visit in the late season may be on the cards (if there is any room left on them!)

Don't forget the contest of all contests starts December 8th and I just hope that they get better surf than last year.

Local Gower surfers Emily and Lee will be on the beach out there so looking forward to seeing their pics on Facebook and watching the contest live on > http://billabong.com/pipelinemasters08/

Itchy feet all because of a particular tasting coffee  called 'Hula Girl" now that is weak!

Oahu, Hawaii.

  • Perfect_righthand_point_peeling_at_lani_
    I love Hawaii, it's that simple. Every wave tests you and your ability. I truly believe that if one is to be a surfer he/she must travel to the home of surfing to sample it's delights at least once.
