Thought those doing downwind would enjoy this footage.....great day and shows lots of technique. It all about having fun and this was a really fun run. Aloha
Thanks.. Great vid.. and great conditions.. 
It shows how much pearling is an issue with doing DW'ers (when you see water splash over the camera).. and why having the right board is so important.

I loved the cam looking forwards how he was not only sitting in the trough but chasing the gaps to get onto the one in front to stay on the wave train.
I enjoyed that.
Absolutely true......the right board is key. These boards have a relatively relaxed rocker so you can and do pearl a bit. But one good stroke and all's right with the world again. Amazingly the lower rocker allows the board to keep the forward momentum right through the dive. Personally, I prefer this to a the alternative nose "flip" as I find it slows the board down enough that it takes a huge effort to get it back to speed.
That everything is dependent on the conditions goes without saying......
You guys could see some of the long rides Alo was getting......the convergence of the two channels around this side of Molokai make the waves stand up pretty good. The wind was a big help too....
