Lil' Kim Has Pancreatic Cancer

And he looks bad. Per the WSJ
Open letter to Lil' Kim


Dear Lil' Kim,

I am sorry to hear about your cancer and all. But your still a bit bat shit crazy and I have some serious boundry issues with you after trying to launch a nuke at me in Hawaii on my vacation. However you look pretty bad right now, and if you let us surf in your country we might have better thoughts of you later.

Unfortunately I won't be able to take the freindship tour this year. (The ecomony and all) But, I am a big fan of your heroic movies and Cartman playing you in Team America.

Hope your son is not as crazy as you and your country comes back to some level of sanity. Good luck to you but don't expect a paddle out when your gone.

Your friend

WSA Menehune Contest

We went to Huntington Beach for a 'easy contest' this morning. Logan was greeted with two WSA Prime surfers and a NSSA National Champ in his first heat.

Logan came back strong in the Longboard Division.
A little prep from his brother for his final.
They both took home 3rd place trophies in their age division! not a bad days work....

My Korea Obsession Stays Alive (via Surfer Online)

No worries from the South Korea Surfers. They are laid back ...(read stoned) Surfer Mag reports: Surfers are known as a carefree bunch, but South Korea's surf community seems to be taking the attitude to the next level - which could be a good thing.

Surfing North Korea

Kim Jong Il wants you!

With the insanity of the Jacko Funeral I have been avoiding the news, but I have been enjoying some good theatre with North Korea.

Lil' Kim has had me obsessed with his country since he wanted to bomb Hawaii during my vacation. Yesterday the Washington Post reports that Lil' Kim could be behind the cyber attacks on our government as of late. Which is interesting in that they don't really have too much computer expertise in his country. The most fun I have had is their wacky website that welcomes us to North Korea. (go ahead check it out)

Jay DiMartino in his blog talks about the surf in the border called North Sokcho that has good beach breaks. No one has surfed them. and apparently the two jailed US journalist didn't get the memo that this country wants them as a part of their friendship visits.

Here is an actual picture from the DPR's website from a 'friendship tour'. I would love to get a Interpol file on these future despots and what the dinner table talk was on this tour.

However here is a swell map of the North Korea from today. Predicting both north and south swell activity right around the 38Th parallel.

Will North Korea have an economic boom when they open their borders exposing the next JBay? Will Kim Jong Il's kid surf? Can you surf in a Hazmat Wetsuit? stay tuned

I See It!!!!!

Well admit it, your flying in the plane for about five hours and then, there is that moment when you finally see the Islands. It really is why you came. The planning, dreaming and as we are older the logistics of a surf trip have all been labored over and over thought. Yet when you see the Islands there is a pure sense of stoke. Now imagine yourself at 12 years old.

The first sight of Oahu.

Nanny Cam

Yesterday I went over to see my parents inbetween various work calls. This was after I had dropped off the kids at Cardiff around 8:30am.

When I got their I said I got to check on the kids. My Mom asked if I needed to call them or check with who they were with.

"No, I will show you"...I then proceeded to their computer and punched up the Wavewatch.com Cardiff Cam where I was able to see Lucas catch a few lefts.

I came back to the living room and realized that I have a nanny cam. Now when I was a kid at age young we would go to the beach in the morning and come back sometime around dark. Today in our world of paranoid parents (I am one) our kids are scheduled around the clock so sometimes they don't even know what to do with any down time.

Last summer I made the decision that both kids are good to be dropped off at our local spots. Hard decision for my paranoid self but they will always run into someone we know.

One more reason living here is good.
