Fun little sunset session at Brooks St. May 7, 2010

I love surfing my home break, Brooks St. Laguna Beach. I grew up surfing this famous Laguna Break. I rode my first Second Reef wave when I was 10 years old. My mom was really mad cause I left her at Thalia St. and went out by myself. Some regulars out there are Pat O' Connel, Jeff Booth, Watto, Sean Brown and many other local characters.

If you don't write things down on the North Shore, it's easy for the details to get away from you. And a lot has happened since our own Joel Centeio's big win at Haleiwa. We have a new women's world champion (Congrats on No. 3, Steph.) We had Rell Sunn's Menehune event this weekend (good on ya, Kaulana and Elijah.) We had a solid swell hit the Outer Reefs and Waimea on Wednesday (welcome back, Aamion.) We winced as Dillon Perillo took a board to the eye, got five stitches, but is back in the water a few days later. And we've welcomed the arrival of Phantom Man, Damien "Dom" Wills to the seven-mile miracle. Fortunately, we have Michael Lallande and Tom Aiello on hand to document all this action, and there's been plenty. Next up: Joel looks to continue his winning streak at Sunset. Brett looks to end his stellar competitive season on a high note. And Dom is looking for anything — and we mean anything — to pull into. Until then, enjoy the latest batch of images from Lallande and stay tuned for more Waves of the Day from the Hurley Ohana.

The Hawaii winter surf season is officially on. Hundreds of surfers and media showed up to the island of Oahu last week, all expecting huge northwest swells with light offshore winds. But much to their dismay it's been windy and rainy with a little bit of northeast swell. But it's not all that bad here in Hawaii in November. Air and water temp is hovering at a very nice 80 degrees. And we shouldn't be complaining about head high righthand sand points. To top that off, the forecast looks great for next week! Solid northwest swell with light offshores. Stay tuned for many more updates from the Rock in middle of the Pacific.—Joel

More fun waves in Hawaii

The sun came out for some great waves near Pipe. Not very crowded so far. Plenty of great surf sessions so far this trip.

Got some 2 to 3 footers at Ehukai yesterday.

Went to Ehukai yesterday with my brother Anthony. He lives over here and works at Ola's restaurant at Turtle Bay. We paired off on some nice 2 to 3 foot waves. Plenty of waves for everybody.

Here's a look at my new place on North Shore

Arrived at my new studio in V-Land on the North Shore of Oahu. Been surfing V-Land and Ehukai. Pics to come.

One of My High Scoring Waves

The Brooks St. Contest in Laguna Beach is the oldest surf contest. Every year we

wait for the biggest swell of the summer to hold it. I rode this wave all the way in from 2nd.

Here are some pics of the new store in Laguna Beach.

Fun, entertaining, action-packed, family like. This is what it is like to work in the new Hurley/Nike store in Laguna Beach. I figured since I ride for Hurley, this would be a good place to supplement my income. The store reflects the artististic side of the surf industry. Come by and check us out.
