The Billabong Pipeline Masters Waiting Period Has Begun!

Pipeline is the powder keg of the surfing world. Surfers from hundreds of countries travel here to prove their moxie in the caverns of Pipe. With the inundation of surfers in the line-up, the take off zone makes for some volatile situations. Be advised: if you venture to Pipe, be prepared to do battle – not just with the sea, but with your fellow surfers.

Surfing • Keep The North Shore Country Fundraiser

Waimea Valley Fundraiser on November 24

Keep the North Shore Country's Second Annual Dinner Party and Silent Auction will be held at the Waimea Valley Audubon Center on Saturday, November 24, 2007.

This is our biggest fundraising event of the year and a great evening of food, music and fun. Special thanks to Waimea Valley Grill for their outstanding catering service, to the generous folks providing the art, surfboards and other valuable items for the silent auction and to the volunteers who help make the event such an enjoyable evening.

Make reservations online and get more details at www.keepthenorthshorecountry.org.

Seating is limited, so book early. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Matching Donations - Fundraising Drive

Donations from individual supporters will be matched by an anonymous donor through the end of this year. Please contact us before donating amounts larger than $5000.

Mounting legal campaigns is very expensive, so contributions, large and small are very much appreciated. Other than the legal fees and some advertising expenses, our overhead is extremely small. The Directors receive no salary and volunteer their time and talents.

Read the Appeal Brief - It's Good!

Our appeal brief was filed in September. The City and Kuilima have until early December to submit their Answering Briefs and we will have another three weeks to Reply to their briefs. Then all of the documents will be reviewed by the Judges on the Intermediate Court of Appeals.
The brief clearly shows how the City failed to follow Hawaii Environmental Law by not taking a "Hard Look" at whether or not a Supplemental EIS is needed for the Turtle Bay Resort Expansion Project.

Surf Trip Surf Video - Big Pipeline

Just got back from a surf trip to the North Shore of Oahu. It's always great to go back to the islands.

I shot some video of the Big West Swell that hit the North Shore on Feb. 15th, 2007. I shot it from Off The Wall so the angle isn't the best for Pipeline, but the waves are good and the boys are charging.

Crowds and Cell Phones.

Crowds and Cell Phones.

We're all guilty of this one. Your'e down checking your local spot and you notice it looks kind of fun and the crowd is minimal. Nice... You think, hey? I'll call my buddy and tell him to come down because it looks fun. It so happens that the other 5 or 6 guys on the beach have done the same thing. Then all of the "buddies" call someone else and so on. By the time you get suited up and out in the line up the parking lot is filling up and the spot is crowded.

There are some advantages: (1) You have your own crowd in the line up. It's easier to take over a peak if you have the numbers. If it's going to get crowded anyway, it's better have more of your own friends in the line up. (2) It saves valuable surf time. You can just check out your closest spot and call your buddy at another spot without having to drive there. How many times do you end up checking you favorite spot, drive up and down the coast, and end up surfing the first spot you checked loosing surf time? (3) It saves on fuel consumption. Better for you wallet and the environment.

Next time it looks fun and is uncrowded, take a moment and think about it.
