And the fun don't done
Tue 21 February 12:00am
The 2012 Aussie contest season is heating up with two comps down and the Quikky Pro about to begin, yet the Hawaiian season is still to end. Those still on the Rock - locals and tourists alike - have been experiencing a great late season burst of swell.
Jack Dekort has been one of the fortunate few and scored these photos for us, all taken during the past week.

Pipeline this morning
Tue 7 February 12:00am
Pipe surfers had just a small window of opportunity to fill their quota this morning. According to Swellnet photographer, Jack Dekort, morning wind conditions were close to perfect with just a light offshore puffing. For a few hours Pipeline pumped with Kelly Slater, amongst many others, putting on a great display of surfing on his quad. It was a short-lived session, however, with the wind swinging onshore around lunch.
Here's Jack's shots, taken while the wind was offshore and the session in full swing.

It's Time To Go: Eddie
Friday 14/01 8
Except for an excellent Pipeline swell in November the first half of the 2010/11 Hawaiian season has been very underwhelming. So quiet has it been that the visiting pros only needed their step-up boards during the December contest season. In fact the only people that waxed their guns that month were the entrants and alternates of the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational.
