Surf Riders / by Dave Hileman

As I type this in the Seattle Airport I have been up for 27 hours. My text will likely be even more jumbled than usual. However, getting home - in the midst of a hurricane - at 6 this evening will add another 6 or 7 hours to the total and clearly syntext will be completely gone, so posting for October 1 this morning.

We enjoyed watching the surfers off of North Beach in Maui. The best waves are here and most of the serious surfers seem to be as well. The photos were tough. I was on a high cliff a long way from the action and from where they would catch a wave and then a bit more toward shore the light changed dramatically. And I did not have my trusty 100-400 lens. So with all that complaining out of the way, two of the many surfers from our last day in Hawaii.
