And the fun don't done

Late Charge

Wed 15 February 12:00am

It's a good time to be in Hawaii: the contests are well and truly over and the majority of the pros have left, the crowds are thinning, and the sand is cleared off the reefs that count. Best of all the swell is stil pumping.

Our man on the ground, Jack Dekort, has timed his stay well. He sent this slection through to us - photos taken during the past week on the North Shore.

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.
