9th January 2006

Went to Ali'i with Debbie, everyone surfed. Quite busy, the lineup included a mental Japanese surfing disaster - the Jap with the hat, hurtling down large walls on his knees bouncing around over everyone in the water. Crazy.

Chilled out Aprés surf, under Hawaiian's tent. Hawaiian (a.k.a. David) is another of Debbie's friends, one of the biggest surfers we've ever seen.

DT surfed small Marijuana's on a longboard. CB, SP & CF did a last shopping run, including a trip to the Quiksilver shop/museum. Photographed Tom Carroll's pink board from "that turn" at the Pipemasters.

Went to Debbie's house, fixed her fence. Jock Sutherland asking SP if they still hold the Eisteddfod in Wales! Jocko - adopted son of the Valleys!!

Drove up the coast, checked Velzyland, Pipe, Rocky Point, Off-the-wall, Log-cabins and Sunset. All very crowded. Velzyland looks the best. Also spotted Humpback whales breaching off-shore at Pipe.

Watched DVD (Team America - Uncensored). Got drunk. Dinner was interesting - steak and salad following a bottle of Whiskey - smoke everywhere & garlic bread for dessert. Steak was good though.
