Catch a few Waves? On Big Wednesday? Jan-Michael Vincent, William Katt and Gary Busey and the more favorite Patti D'Arbanville This famous surfing movie that came from California was released in 1978. Some of those surfing folks in California will tell you that they invented our surfing sport. Yeah right. I don't own a copy of this movie but let's discover just how bad my memory is? In Hawaii we judge this wave at about 6 or 7 feet high. Please wait for my coincidence in today's story. This movie had another actor in it called Gerry Lopez. I seem to recall that he was trying to cook some Californians by stuffing them into an oven. Come on - Ya gotta love that! Gerry is a so-called Hawaiian Pipeline master. He was born in Honolulu. The Pipeline surf line is located in the Oahu north shore. We measure the height of our waves from the back of them - not the front like it is done just about everywhere else. The pipeline is one of those surfing spots that scares me to death (sans my actual death - yet) because this surf is very shallow. If a surfer catches a wave during the winter, someone looks ahead to view only razor sharp coral. That's all. Wait. There is more. Hawaii's Gentle surf in Waikiki My goodness. The surf in Waikiki came in (in Hawaiian measurement method) yesterday between eight and fifteen feet. Trust me; those are not only very large but also extremely rare. They occur in Waikiki about as many times as those filmed in the previous movie. Guess what? The surf in Waikiki is also extremely dangerous. It is also very shallow as is the Pipeline. Not many "locals" ever surf in Waikiki - nowhere to park and the surf really isn't that good - but crowded anyway. That's where we store our tourists. I'm going to call what happened yesterday, "Big Wednesday". Wow! Is our hurricane coming too?   This is the gentle Pipeline in north Oahu. Trust me - the waves up here get a lot Bigger but not many scarier. Who is that guy? Is that guy Gerry? 11:01:04 AM    Feed Me! []
