With a sad footnote-

Kala got some bombs today at Waimea but I'm sure after this session and the heart breaking news, he's thinking much more of the loss of one of his dearest friends... Aloha Andy from all of us... Condolences to all your family and friends...

Man that is a heavy wave what board is he riding AA?

I think I would be sh1tting myself sitting on the beach looking through the lens.

Bigger balls than a bull elephant.

When I first looked at it I thought 10 6 as it looks like a bamboo construction but there is no nose flip so I would go 12er or custom

You know Kala is only just hanging on by the rail from the amount of board reflected at the bottom of the wave!

Hilly I reckon it is the 10'6 Gun Ripper. Blane doesn't do coloured rails on his customs.

Has a flash back to a quote on the Breeze from last year when some one said those PSH boards dont work in big waves PMSL.

Blane put up several pics of his boards smashing lips and making waves that would keep most people awe struck and firmly sitting in the carpark with their butt cheeks clenching the car seat!

I dont think we ever heard from that avatar again???

Just saw this shot, which I kind of like even more:



Another one with Kala charging... Cool shot from behind... You can see intensity all around... Kala said, "This is the best board I ever had". It's a straight off the rack, 10-6 Gun/Ripper Veneer Model. Running it as a Quad...

Or let your board drag you while angling the blade of your paddle so it hydrofoils you to the surface.

I've never been fully drilled by solid surf on my SUP, except on the couple of times when I've snapped my leggy.
