I do read your blog and I really like this song – have no clue what they are saying but the beat is great. Prince was also one of my favorites, back in the day, but I don’t even remember “Darling Nikki” so it must have been on my own “don’t play” list .

Well your whole trip sounds just great, and the show was a success.

And you’re right, something about being an Oregon surfer, makes sitting alone under a gray sky, bundled in neoprene, oddly appealing.

All I can say is that I hope this North wind quits. It’s freezing up here ( literally!)

You know, it was amazing. I wasn’t on a big mission to get surf, but I did get some. I got Hanelei and Poipu both fun, but mostly I was just cruising with my wife and friends. To be honest, I favor cold isolated surf to crowded warm water waves.
The water was a nice temp., but since they have had a lot of rain lately it was really brown. I actually duck dove a wave and hit my head on a submersed tree limb. Talk about feeling like I was back in Oregon.
My favorite thing about being in the islands is that I don’t feel in any way rushed. I just go into complete relaxation mode.

elaborate on the waves please…. sapphire blue swells extending over the horizon? Perfect peeling barrels in wetsuitless waters?

-The water was about 45 degrees at Newport yesterday. And i think the air temp was about 35

Great post,
My friends and i made an Alaia a while ago out of pine. Man is it fast! but like Wegener said; it is really tough to ride. Apparently there is a guy up here in Newport who has made like 6 or 7 of them.

I agree. I saw them play live back when Disco Vilante came out. It was one of my favorite concerts of all time.

YES! I just posted this a few days ago – f*ing love this song and it’s amazing how well it’s done live too, considering

She is inspiring to watch. There was a recent Surfers Journal cover with her on it. If you haven’t seen it, you should. It’s a great photo.
