Fresh footage of the first large swell of the season across the North Shore. Just mind the crowds and drop-ins. Filmed by Sam Sykes.

looking at old photos of big Waimea, wave sharing has always been the go out there. I reckon it's the sort of wave that suits it, apart from the obvious associated dangers involved :)

I love the colorful boards being ridden these days, especially in big surf, just adds to the visual spectacle I reckon.......

I like this old footage Matt Warshaw revisited the other day.
From 30+ years ago, Phyllis Dameron, Honolulu bar hostess by night, fearless Waimea bodyboard charger by day.

That's some classic footage Wallly. What a charger alright! I would imagine she must of walked back to her towel stark naked on occasion, after a good wipeout :)
