This past week I saw in the news that 50 foot waves hit North Shore Oahu (where the world’s biggest surfing competitions are held).  Sumi texted me to let us know she and Keith were heading up there to try and get a first hand look at the insanity.  I’m so jealous!

Our first full day in Oahu, Sumi, Susan, Mason and I drove to the North Shore and got lunch at one of the famous shimp shacks.  On the way we parked on the side of the road for a minute to snap some pics of surfers at sunset beach.

These are shots I took showing seasoned pro’s surfing 17-20 foot waves.  Can you imaging 50 feet!  That’s like surfing from the top of my office 🙂
