What goes up.


Must come down.

Aloha 'Oe Malik.

At the ripe old age of 25 Malik Joyeux of Moorea surfed his last wave at the notorious Pipeline on Oahu’s North Shore. He was an awesome surfer who inspired many to conquer their fears.

Surfing an eight-foot day on a new west swell at Pipe, Malik dropped into a set wave, started to pearl, recovered, and then pearled again at the bottom of the wave. He went down with the lip and didn’t come up. The complete story at SurferMag.com.

Surfers saying aloha to Malik.

Ha'aheo ka ua i nâ pali
Ke nihi a'ela i ka nahele
E hahai (uhai) ana paha i ka liko
Pua 'âhihi lehua o uka

Hui:
Aloha 'oe, aloha 'oe
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
One fond embrace,
A ho'i a'e au
Until we meet again

'O ka hali'a aloha i hiki mai
Ke hone a'e nei i
Ku'u manawa
'O 'oe nô ka'u ipo aloha
A loko e hana nei

Maopopo ku'u 'ike i ka nani
Nâ pua rose o Maunawili
I laila hia'ia nâ manu
Miki'ala i ka nani o ka lipo

Dreaming Of Outside.

The weather in the "City By The Bay" is wonderful. It's so darn distracting that I'm jonesing to be outside doing some bodysurfing.
To compound my itchiness I stumbled across a video by the Nueral Surfer. Click the image to play.

Shorts and maybe fins. No stick required! How pure is that?
I think I might be evolving into a minimalist.
