Hilltop Hawaii.

The view from Rhyan and Matt's place. That's Mauna Kea (the mountain) in the background, with the giant telescopes on top. Mauna Kea is the world's tallest mountain, if you measure from the sea floor.
Waimea hills. The weather up here is thirty degrees cooler than at the beach. Very refreshing.
Locals Rule. Al Lasiter. A good man.
End of the rainbow. Waimea, Big Island.
I forgot the name of this really nice beach. Sunset was amazing.

Stand-up Boogie Skimming.

You see people riding shore pound waves on boogie boards every day, but not like this...these guys were ripping it, stand-up skimmer style. Just wait for the wave to jack up, then run full speed and jump on your board, pumping for speed to perform surfing maneuvers and jumps. I got a bunch of great shots this day. Here are a few.
