While there are many famous surfers we could list, today's event sponsored by Quicksilver honors Eddie Aikau born on Maui but later became a resident of Oahu's North Shore and was the first lifeguard on Oahu at Waimea Bay. He was famous for riding the Big Ones! The opening ceremonies get off to a great 
start today at Waimea Bay. The big wave event needs a minimum of 20-foot waves to get underway. Forecast today is 16 to 24 -foot faces. Trade winds at 5 -10 mph- 83'F Sunny - so conditions should be perfect. This event is the Super Bowl of surfing and the first price this year is the largest first place check in history at $55,000.

I'd like to offer you just a few minutes of tropical breezes and big wave surfing - go ahead take a short Hawaii vacation without leaving your home of office.

Roxy,thank you for looking at my blogs (via the Blogger group.)
You have a really nice blog here. I just LOVE your photo-header. And I love the pictures of the waves.
Reminds me that I need to put pictures into my blogs because they make all the difference in the world.
P. Mailet, thanks for the kind comments. I really do like to keep my blog visually attractive.
It nice when my efforts are noticed.
I do like your blog too. You have so much to read and lots of important information most of us could benefit from. I'll be back soon for more.

The photos of warm weather have made me very jealous. I'm sitting here in the cold in Massachusetts. I don't know about the real estate market where you are, but it's terrible here.
