The NW swell will then back down Thursday/Fridayasa reinforcing dose ofNNW swell moves in Friday and tops out Saturday to keep up small-scale surf. Further out, a new and fun size NNW-North swell is lining up for next week (Tues-Wed the 30th-1st).

Flat days suck!

Flat days suck unless you get to go diving with Alana!  Awesome!  Check it out Pipe is such a beautiful place even underneath.  It's flat here too, I should get a mask and some fins.

Reef Hawaiian Pro Winner

Congrats to Joel!  Coming back from an ankle injury and a mean laceration to totally dominate every single heat...  You Parko are a Champion!  If you didn't see it you can go to Reef Hawaiian Pro and checkout all his heats and the final.  He scored a Perfect 10 first wave!  Usually my first wave of the day is me eating dirt from china!

Cholos Hawaiian pro winner

Congrats goes out to Steph for a dominating performance at this years event.  Would have loved to see local girls Alana and Coco do better but Steph just killed it in every heat! Click here to go to event for heat videos.

Rip Curl Search postponed

Rip Curls Search website said today "Competition at the Rip Curl Pro Search in Puerto Rico will  be postponed on Wed., Nov. 3 out of respect for the passing of 3X ASP World Champion Andy Irons. Competition will resume following further consultation with ASP and Surfers".  A very thought full decision to have made.  I'm sure everyone is making plans to head over to Kauai very soon to pay some big respect.

RIP to 3x word champ Andy Irons

Official Billabong Press Release.

HONOLULU – (November 2, 2010) — The world of surfing mourns an incredibly sad loss today with the news that Hawaii’s Andy Irons has died. Andy was a beloved husband, and a true champion. Irons, 32, withdrew from a professional surfing event in Puerto Rico last weekend due to illness and passed away during a layover en-route to his home in Kauai, Hawaii. He had reportedly been battling with dengue fever, a viral disease. At this time the family thanks his friends and fans for their support, and asks that the community respect its privacy. The family also asks to not be contacted so their focus can remain on one another during this time of profound loss.
99% Surf would like to show our deepest condolences to the Irons Family.  Kauai, Hanalei Bay, Pine Trees, The World has lost a true Champion.

Rip Curl Search Puerto Rico Update

Bumber... Looks like Surfline is predicting 5-6, but the folks at the contest called a lay day due to 1-2.  I guess that just goes to show you can't always trust your online surf report.  It's best to get eyes on it!  Local knowledge wins every time.  My local break's calling for 2-3+ with high onshore winds and super drift... so I'm gonna go get wet.
