mike your a crackup!
Hmmm..last time I remember a Hawaiian kneelo coming to the mainland for a kneelo contest in January, aside from DA Durban last year, was Dennis Bantilan from Kauai in 1979

must be the wetsuit thing

hey Tom,
when i saw it was Huntington i was very tempted since thats my old stomping grounds. waaaay warmer than frigid Santa Cruz.........

maybe catch southside seal for some a-frames

but i just don't think i can blemish my perfect contest record.

Hey Mike....is that you in the red sweat shirt? If so, tell Eq to watch his back, you are a good actor.

Maybe a part in Paris's next big hit.

Rock does that make you a 0 ?

Here's my record:
many attempts
0 wins
all losses
But I've won some awesome memories. HB was my stomping grounds too and I can't wait for this Titles to happen

OK

fooj, that video is profoundly depressing. It perfectly captures the insanity of hard core localism.

mike I know one thing for sure in january...it will be cold

but if its 6 - 8 foot and the southside bowl is working we will be paddling sooooo much that we will be warm.....
there will be lots of smiling locals too

tom the smiling locals is the best part, well aside from hopefully a good swell. i can't wait to see the looks on some of those grouchy old faces

No acting there K, women just think they can walk into MY store here and take the latest Paris gossip magazine right off the shelf, well it ain't happening in MY local brah!

probably several good reasons why the low turnout.
1. January here is better than there.......a lot better

2. lots of smiling locals here too
3. a little bit warmer here
4. Fooj is now saving lives....one enema at a time
5. it's hard to surf fat slow waves when you're fat and slow
6. no one owns a fullsuit.....i have one sitting in my closet only because of some recent trips to OZ so add another $250 to the cost

7. (and probably the #1 reason)....we're a bunch of lazy f%cks who moved here so we could sit on our asses smoking pakalolo and let perfect waves come to us. sleeping in till 10am so the trades could kick in and make the waves more perfect.
dawn patrols and freezing water are not held in high regard. get up early? when it's still cold out? WTF?

how about the US or Worlds held in Hawaii

i could guarantee a higher Hawaiian turnout!
