The vid is dated December '06; unusual to have waves like that in Town at that time of year. What was the swell source? I kept yelling "going braddah, jump!" while watching it. Interesting that those guys' boards looked similar to Osserman's designs too.

Bgreen- I dont know who they are, but im sure if someone were to ask Larry Goddard, or any of the people in the group photo in Larry's interview, im sure they would know.

OG: I think theyre Harry's design, the crew I always see out there has Harry's style boards.

Ted: Yep, I've had mine for about a year and a half.

This is what Larry Goddard has to say:

"The two guys in the video are 'regulars' at Walls and Cunhas, Sandbars, etc. The guy on the left is Reggie Nash, and the guy on the right (first one to jump in the water) is Nate Hong. They are part of the group of paipo riders that hang out with Harry Akisada and others in the park area right behind the beach. Some guys prefer to jump off the end of the Kapahulu Groin, which saves them 40 yards of paddling out thru' the shorebreak next to the Wall.

The video says it was shot at 6 AM, but it would've been still dark then. "First Light' wouldn't have been until about 6:30 AM. The pink on the tops of the clouds shows that it was more likely shot around 7 AM, (3 minutes before the 7:03 AM sunrise). I remember that morning well, because Harry and I were the ONLY two guys out at Cunhas, getting waves that were up to 2 feet overhead! That was at the tail-end of an El Nino. Overhead 'Summer' surf in December? We thought we were hallucinating...Ha!"

The wide angle lens the guy was using makes the waves look WAY far out, and considerably smaller than in reality. Walls was about 3-4 ft, and Cunhas was 4-6 ft, with those bigger 7 ft sets coming before and after the tide change about mid-morning to late morning.


Too bad nobody gets videos of them surfing! That would be far more entertaining!"

hey bruddah, it was 4-6' hawaiian brah...no, for reals!

look at the wave compared to the rider laying down on the wave. filming changes it that much? it looks like it's probably more like 2-3' californian. watch the buggahs as dey paddle out brah, its just a bump....looks fun though.

Tim,

As I understand it the 4-6' was at Cunhas, the footage on Magicseaweed was at Walls

Hey guys!
That was a late-El Nino out-of-season New Zealand Swell (SSW), and it was still coming up in the morning when the video was shot of Reggie Nash and Nate Hong getting ready to jump in the water from the end of the Kapahulu Groin in Waikiki. The video was probably actually shot at about 7AM, near sunrise. It would've been still dark at 6AM. First Light would have started about 6:20 or 6:30, depending on how cloudy it was.

The tide was still kinda high at 7AM, and it wasn't big enough to break at Cunhas yet, so I waited til midmorning to go out to Cunhas, where I figured the Low Tide Sets might break. Low Tide on Sunday, 17 Dec 2006 was at 9:43AM, so I waited until just before 9 AM to paddle out.

The first of the more-frequent Low Tide Sets sets started breaking at Cunhas while I was paddling out. Harry Akisada was already out in the 5 ft lineup. That's the smallest waves that can break out there. (It's 8 feet deep in the head-high lineup, so the true Total Height, including the Trough, would be at least 6 ft. "Local Scale" is half of that, or 3 "feet".)

But shortly after I got out there, the sets started getting bigger, breaking 6 ft (a foot overhead), then 7 foot sets came in. We were the only two guys in the lineup...had it all to ourselves! Ha!
