How tall is flynn novak

The wave was a straight widow maker out of your worst nightmare! I almost called before he came up from that violent beating. After floating about listlessly for a while, Sion came in, caught a ride with North Shore lifeguard Rick Williams on the ATV back up the beach, and paddled back out!

Sean Moody's board theory of going shorter and thicker wasn't working as he ate shit on three late drops in a row.

Mind you he still got a couple barrels before that, but Pipeline was definitely not a fan of his board choice. Aside from the occasional second reef bomber bulldozing over the crowd, and the chaotic spills due to guys trying to push their limits, there were quite a few gems that heaved through, and it seemed like if you were patient, you could get a shack or two.

Regulars like Mark Healey, Jamie Sterling, Kalani Chapman, and Kawai Lindo threaded a few, while Mike Stewart packed a meaty Second Reefer and was blown out of the barrel on his sponge to show everyone how it's done, and to start his winter on a high note as well.

Let's hope and pray that Friday was a glimpse of what's to come for the rest of the Hawaiian winter!

Live Data. Log In. Sign Up. In a very bad spot He manned up after that hideous wipeout and took this bomb North Shore local By Nick Carroll on 6th November We love the Med! A reputation can make you or break you. As far as my contest strategy goes, I was aware of where I was sitting on the reef at Bowls.

I had marker points straight in—on Magic Island to the west, and on the buildings by Diamond Head to the east—that I knew not to go past. Surfing Bowls on a typical day, being a tall haole guy, is a nightmare. The crowd is very aggressive and thick to say the least. I once read that you rarely surf Bowls. After winning here twice can we expect to see you out in the lineup more often? Ala Moana Bowls is a localized spot and I understand the way that works.

Do you think the level of surfing coupled with the amount of talent in the water warrants the comp to be more than a 1 star? Of course! Hawaii has the deepest talent pool in the surfing world. Usually 1- to 3- star events anywhere else in the world are filled with kids, kooks, and graduating amateurs just trying to get some sort of WQS points. Talk about a show to watch. Shit, last year in the quarterfinals of this comp, 16 out of 16 quarterfinalists scored 9s in their heats, and half of those guys lost.

Imagine watching that. We need more WQS events in Hawaii. Why not with live webcasts these days?
