Its not the size of the wave in HB it is the side current that is a pain. Its like a river. Who wants to watch people paddle all day?

you didnt see the current that day, it was going so fast youd have to paddle half a mile down the beach. cmon man, you think kelly needs to take a ski when he chooses to paddle back out at waimea
