It was storming in Waikiki this morning but had planned on going to the north shore unless the waves were crashing on the road up there. As I made my way out of town and onto the Interstate H1 and H2 (technically, I think you have to be able to drive OUT of the state for it to be an INTERSTATE) and actually saw lightening. Oh well, what else could I do.
So, I did make it back up to the Banzai Pipeline. Parking a couple hundred yards away from the beach park I slipped through a lesser known path to the Pipeline where I had watched the Backdoor Shootout surfing competition several years back. Apparently, it's still ongoing.
There was a lot of misty element to the air and the sun didn't come out regularly so it was pretty hit and miss for the right light. Red flags lined the beach but that's pretty much an every day occurrence up there.
Anyway, here's a few surfer pictures I took.
