I'm in a world of pain right now. Sitting in Waikiki Starbucks, with a margarita migraine, wishing I was back on the North Shore. I just dropped Clare to the airport to catch her ridiculously and painfully early Jetstar flight back to Sydney.

After napping with the homeless crew on the Waikiki foreshore I started thinking about what I'm going to miss the most about Hawaii...

I'll miss Foodland. Good for groceries, the latest goss and a perve. I'll miss its cold floors, hot customers, 18 packs of Carona, intense American packaging design and shelves of orange cheese.

I got a little glimpse into the future of surfing under the golden light of the setting sun.

Pouring with Rain.

A nasty weather front has set in here on the North Shore. It was bad enough being stuck inside yesterday, but when we woke up this morning and it was still raining, and Pipe was cancelled...the mood was darker than the clouds in the sky.

We came here to shoot, write and surf. The lack of swell and stormy weather (never great to shoot in) has been putting a spanner in the works, but this morning...we said screw it. We donned our wet weather gear and got Clare's 600 mm lens it's new little rain jacket. Jumped in the car and went hunting.
