Solid 8-10 foot (Hawaiian Scale) waves are expected for the Billabong Monster Energy Pro at Pipeline on Oahu’s North Shore. The holding period begins tomorrow and it seems as though the surfers will already be blessed on the first day. Pancho Sullivan, Derek Ho, Mikey Bruneau, Makua Rothman, and Tom Dosland are among some of the monster competitors vying for some $30,000 in prize.

If you’ve never seen pipeline going off these next few days could be some of the best. Surf is supposed to hold steady through Tuesday with a high of 15 foot Hawaiian scale. That means 25 feet plus for you not from the islands. With the talent that will be on the north shore this weekend, try and make it up there if you get a chance.

Aloha everyone from Oahu. The triple crown of surfing has been going on and I have been hanging out on the north shore here and there. Monstrous waves have made for some great days, and beautiful weather has made for some amazing sites.

We spent the Sunday after thanksgiving hanging out at Sunset Beach watching the O’Neill World Cup and catching some sun. Tons of people made the trip up and basically stalled the Kam Highway. We ventured up the east side of the island so pretty much avoided all that crazy traffic.

The waves were a solid 15-20 foot face and pounding. Sunset Beach is an OK place to watch surfing. The break they surf is pretty far offshore and Kim and I forgot out binoc’s so that made for a lot of squinting. It was nice however to watch as the round of 96 was in full force.

We did manage to jump in the water a little bit and play in the shore break. Wouldn’t have ever done that if there weren’t already about 200 people in the water. Tends to get a bit sketchy on the North Shore when there are large sets coming in.

We are getting ready for PipeMaster’s. Pip is by far the best wave to watch a contest at. It breaks no more the 100 yards off shore and is large and in charge. We hope that one of the contest days is on the weekend so we can make it up there. Last year finals was on a Sunday so we hope we have the same luck this year.

‘Til next time, stay warm and get surfin’
