New housing development in full constructin mode. Long time local slasher Francis Paalea takes a look back at the surf...

Once construction is done on the gated community, I don't think the view from this angle will be here for the average surfer...

A thick one on the inside finally clips a surfer, he almost made it out after an incredibly long tube ride...

A little too deep, but he shoulda pulled in

This guy did it right... and he made it

Sweet little insiders

Pigdogging deep, but falls after a long one

This guy was ripping and almost made this flip

The lefts were cracking too .

I think this was TJ Barron,  pic 1 of 2 from the same wave

Pic 2 of 2, he made this launch! .

Neal heading into a mean double

Later, we went down the coast and found some loooong sweet lefts....

Clean, wide open walls .

Neal, round 2 on his new longboard, kicks out

Even the inside section was fun .
