North Shore

Back in January, we took a trip up to the North Shore to watch my cousin play basketball on the BYU-Hawaii team. We decided to try and find Pipeline on our way up to see the BIG waves. We were not disappointed. I know the pictures don't do it justice, but the waves were so amazing to watch and the surfers who rode them were awesome. 

I think this was at "Leftovers" - I know cool name!

Yeah I think I will take their advice!

 In our tour book it gives a rough location of how to find Pipeline, but there are no signs saying "Pipeline!" We easily found it however by an ambulance and firetruck that were picking up a poor surfer who got hurt! I would never call myself a surfer, but I have surfed my dad's big 9 foot board on 3 foot waves and it is so fun when I actually catch a wave and ride it! Back home however, we have to do a lot of waiting for a decent wave. Here, they are big, but good waves just keep rolling in over and over again! No wonder they have competitions here!

 Someone eating it! he he We actually didn't see this that often cause I imagine there aren't many novice surfers brave enough to ride these 15' + waves

It was really stormy off and on and luckily the rain stopped just as we got there and waited till we were leaving to pick back up.

 Thought this was sad and funny at the same time. Guess the board was done!

 We made it up to BYU- Hawaii campus which having gone to BYU-Provo, it's always fun to be on a BYU campus! My cousin got us great tickets (FREE ones) and the girls had so much fun calling out his name! 

Something funny was that the school was video taping the game and putting it on their internet website. My aunt of course was watching, but sadly the videographer just turned the camera on and didn't zoom in or anything, so its was hard way to watch a game for my aunt. Because the camera was behind us, to add some excitement for my aunt, once in awhile we would stand up and smile at the camera saying hi to my Aunt! She'd then text us and we'd laugh!

 Thanks Justin for letting us come watch you and your team! Oh and thank you for winning that game! It always makes it more fun to watch!
