Hawaii during the Triple Crown is definitely worth going to just to see all the top surfers in one spot surfing some of the most challenging surf conditions in the world. I’ve been going to Hawaii from Oct - Dec for the past 10 years and it’s a hecktic time with sensory overload. I’ve never been to Hawaii in Jan. This is the 1st time for me. I have to tell you that it’s now become my favorite time to be here. The surf is always pumping. The waether conditions are a lot more inviting and the crowds are less than half. This is PARADISE!. These photos are from Day 1 of the waiting period. I hung out with Nick Rupp and Parker Coffin pretty much all day around the Volcom house. Great day with good surf. Here are some picture from my iPhone. At the end I will put together a video edit of the team surfing. Enjoy!
