Pictures just can't show the enormousness of those waves. Looking for surfers in the normal pictures is like trying to find bacteria without a microscope.
In the one photo before the close up, I actually think I can see a few of them, toward the left had side, either that or you had dust on your scanner. lol

Love the two pictures of the valley taken from the road. You just don't get green that color anywhere but the topics. Beautiful!

No, Bud. Lava is only on the Big Island as it is the newest. O'ahu is one of the oldest. While not lava, it is all dried lava aka. igneous rock. Thus, the pointy mountains and pock-marked / layered rock in just about every picture. On Big Island, most say that you really even need to take a helicopter to have a chance of seeing any molten lava.

Hell, the sand on a lot (most?) of those beaches are not native. It is white sand imported from Australia!

Great pics. Love the "green" shot. Awesome views. No lava?
[guidogodoy] Monday, January 17, 2011 11:47:04 PM 
Ok, a very select few and pretty much a trip around the outskirts of O'ahu.

Hanauma Bay - Great snorkling. Be smart and bring your own gear.


Lookout point over Honolulu / Waikiki


By North Shore. The valley where they filmed Jurassic Park, the last King Kong + many others. Taken from a moving vehicle as there is no place to stop on this two-laner. Yeah, it is that green and amazing.


"Three Tables." North Shore. Sits between Waimea Bay Beach and the Banzai Pipeline. BIG wave day which is what brought me there. Picture before a round of waves...


and during.


Finally, the famous Banzai Pipeline that has killed or injured more surfers than any other spot on the globe. Look closely, there are surfers in just about all the shots to follow. Hard to see as the sun was setting and those waves were so big. Final digital zoom picks out a few maniacs and puts it into perspective.

I'll take the old fashioned one with the mannual wringer. The place country club I used to work at back in the day had one of those old dinosaurs and they used to to wash the golf balls because those machines NEVER quit.

LOL!!! I could make a child lock to keep one IN!

I'd be looking for a little elephant / pelican in the meantime a la Flintstones.

I think I'll just Never wash any blanket along with bedsheets ever again. Stupid machine.

I would consider using the inventor of this machine, as a counter balance to a off balance machine. No problem with that. I'm sure he could fully appreciate his child lock that wont let him escape.

HAAAA!!! How about you take out all the clothes and try to stuff a smaller kid in there to balance out the weight of the soaked blanket?

I'll be looking for Nancy Grace to announce the results of the experiment.

It's insane. OK, so it's off balance, I put in on pause open it, and adjust the clothes, instead of attempting to spin again, it starts to fill up again! First time, I've been truly disapointed with this machine. Washing machines are not rocket science! Why do they screw up the one invention that was pretty much straight forward.

See? You don't have the necklace with you and shit happens!
I bet they spent the $ used for an "off balance" alarm on the oh-so-useful child lock.

Wonder if it's voodoo would work on my new washer?? I just spent and hour and a half attempting to get the damn thing to spin out the load in it. I finally figured out that you can't put any kind of blanket in that absorbs lots of water along with other items. It's autobalance system won't spin it out, you don't get one of those off balance alarms, that would be too convienent. NO, it just quits spining and starts to fill up again to start the whole rinse cycle over again. Dumb! I finally had to remove the offending blanket and spin out the two loads separately, which also means I had to use the only existing spin cycle that I can dial in which is some sort of drain/spin cycle which takes about 15 minutes to complete. So, when I'm finally done, I'll have spent two hours on this and learned something I would rather have not. I knew I should have gotten the Wilma Flintstone edition washing machine.

It keeps me alive and also serves to ward off alligator attacks. I have neither died nor been bitten by an alligator while travelling with it.

You know, I heard it was and I drove up to the temple twice (once in a small tour and again having rented a nice Red Mustang Convert. jeje). Just couldn't justify driving all that way when the big waves were hitting Waimea and, especially, the Banzai Pipeline. Watching the sunset while these maniacs were trying to surf some 30 ft rollers was just too cool.
