Krazy Keiki's


Examining the forecast the last couple days and spotting the NW swell approaching, Ale and Keiao set off for the North Shore mid morning hoping for the best. Upon arriving at Keiki's Beach, it seemed like the swell had not hit yet with the beach still having slope and the ground not shaking. . . I spoke too soon. 1o min later a set resembling Aliso on a good day rolled in, about 4-5 ft nice shape, barreling onto the dry sand. Another came, bigger this time, and a bigger one. Oh boy, lets go get David Sterman before it gets too big. Except as the tide got higher they got bigger and closer to shore, making me nervous to venture out to attempt and wrap. The Aliso characteristics became more of what you would expect in Cabo. I tried one bomb, wrapping mid way only to get thrown on the dry sand making my bones ache. I got ROLLED! It was getting too hectic. We caught it too late in the swell, too high tide & too gnarly. The bombs became the sets and decided to venture to Waimea. PHEW, smaller wraps. No pictures but fun chest high ones with the Sunday crowd. . . . .
