Keep'em coming!!...Here's some pics from my annual vacation with the wifey to Emerald Island..I know Kauai surfers are very protective of their spots, so not much revealed here.

I did do some recon on some unmentioned secret spots... Got to surf decent PK's and SWrecks a lot, but also fulfilled a dream of surfing a well-known but spooky/sharky/ dry-reef shallow inside spot, super-long rippable perfect lefts...After I got dropped off on the side of the road, searched for the "gate", had to walk through a cane field by myself with only descriptions I've read or heard from people, crossed a muddy stream, go over some private property to reach the dream spot!!! Thought I was gonna get mauled by the loose bull or get lost on them narrow trail

To cap off the trip, got to catch a glimpse of Tiger wacking some 300 yard drives

The PGA golfers are nuts!!
Hanalei from Princeville hotel cliffs, proving grounds for Irons, T Kinimaka, B.Hamiliton, laird, and all of Kauais hottest rippers!!(Home of $20 clubhouse sandwiches for lunch, but kick-ass views of the Bay

Inside Bowl is just as crowded as Pipe!!!!
Lone Surfer around the corner at "South Sea HW",nasty paddle-out, not much of a channel!! Uncorwded though...
Tunnels in the background!!!
Dream spot--"Shoyu Waters" on a small day, was paranoid about the locals, so I buried my digital camera in the black sand after snapping a few pics!!..Stoked that the old-timers were super nice that I met there.. Give respect!!
Me & my little munchkin, thanks for looking...
