[Bobby J]

Hard to believe the water has gotten cold that fast! Its a good thing! I did not wear a full suit the whole time. My shortie worked fine and was almost too hot. Surf season is back!!!!!

Thanks for posting. Peaboy called me yesterday and wanted to know if I was the guy taking pics of him surfing at BMB. Said he had a few dolphins surfing with him leaping in and out of the surf. Sadly it was not me. If anyone sees this and has the photos let me know.

That looks like funn. :biggrin: Is one of them a gull surfer? Shot 4 looks really funn. Yesterday Laird Hamilton and his wife pregnant wife, Gisele, the beach volleyball champ and model, and their 2 cotton topped daughters were interviewed in their home by Oprah. I think it was in California or maybe Hawaii, hmmm. Beautiful home, bodies, life. Anyhow, :cool: surfin' pix. Ya'll are lookin' good out there.:wave:

The dolphin were everywhere. I was with Peaboy after I shot these photos. The dolphin were right out in front of us. They were coming over and checking us out. You could almost touch them!

Laird and his wife live in Hawaii. They are special people. He surfs waves that can and have killed people with one slip! No thanks for me but I sure appreciate his dedication to the sport!

On this below wave it is considered to be one of the biggest rides ever. No so much the height but the weight and complete size. If he would fall, the reef is only about 3' below him. Many feel he would have imploded on impact. Laird said he cried after that wave. The bar war raised!

Lord, Jesus, that is awwwwsome? Who was that famous Hawaiin surfer, I believe, anyhow he was killed when he went with Laird and others to surf something I think called The Mavericks. I saw it on HBO or maybe Discovery or Nat'l Geo. Was it on this same reef? :eek: Very daring. Maybe his ankle cord thing got snagged on a reef they said. :(

Yep, it was surfer Mark Foo at Mavericks, but I am not sure about where BobbyJ's photo came from.

Tahiti's Teahupoo (pronounced cho-pu) is essentially a glorified closeout -- a hideous, deadly barrel promising a heap of trouble for even the most capable!

It sure looks like it. I think your point about the water depth between the reef and his board is something that many of us don't realize. In those large waves, its as much about the dangers under the water as the water above/behind you. Coral reef isn't soft :eek:

omg:yikes:I googled it :creepy:

What are those orange ball things? Does sowal have any hidden hazards underwater? So coral is waiting. I hope they know where it's at! ;-)

The Mavrick's is in Northern California, not the Islands.
