Well they STILL have high surf warnings for the north and west shores so I rode around the south and east shores this morning.
Waves washed out part of the road again [url=http://www.staradvertiser.com/breaking-news/high-surf-erosion-contra-flows-traffic-on-kamehameha-highway-in-kaaawa/]HERE so I skipped the windward coast to avoid traffic.
If you haven't had a chance to check out what a super special surf event "The Eddie" is about go [url=http://www.worldsurfleague.com/posts/182808/instant-classic-john-john-florence-takes-the-eddie]HERE.
Funny story about The Eddie, since it happens on rare occasions when it finally went off on Thursday morning the internet in Hawaii really slowed down with so many watching the HD live stream. I was in Arizona but started getting emails that our network was bogging down so I logged into our ISP and monitored the traffic, saw that staff maxed out the bandwidth on the network so I had to shoot off an email to all staff to STOP WATCHING SURF VIDEO!

And just to show you that not all shores are getting pounded by big waves this was at Makapuu this morning, the gratuitous "how was your weather today" shot.
Oh, and while I was riding along the more southern shore along Hanauma Bay/Sandy Beach I happened to spot a couple of humpback whales breaching and spouting in the channel between Oahu and Molokai, but I have to keep my eyes on the road so I wouldn't run into some visitor driving the other way in their rental car looking for whales too!
Aloha!
