minister - Hey folks im a christian minister and i have surfed all over the world. U guys probably think im sum kook on a long board whos got no idea bout surfin. But i gurantee i surf better than the maority you and i have surfed bigger including 20ft pipe 20ft sunset i have 15 hawain winters under my belt and several sessions at chopes. And heaps of indo boat trips. And in all my life of surfing hawaii were the locals could seriously injure all of u i havnt seen this silly crap bout locals blowins and wat not. The hawainns have better surf than most places in oz and they deal with the blowins and tourists. Their rule iz if you want respect to surf places u must go if u paddle for a wave u go i know by experiance of taking the most vicious beating on a 20ft pipe closeout. If u want to surf GP if u go for a wave go it ad every0ne should jus be peaceful and happy
God bless peace out
