Laniakea

[supsurf-tw]

After not being back on the North Shore for 6 years and coming this time as a SUPer it was interesting. My normal haunts of Backdoor Pipe and OTW were a bit too "critical" for supping. Laniakea was a different story, however.

Ever since I started supping I imagined it at head high going all the way through with only a couple of people out. Well, that dream came true yesterday and it was even better than I had imagined. That place is MADE for SUP. Now the maxed out days not so much but at manageable size its a dream.

I would have never guessed it was breaking that big yesterday. Lucky you!

Yeah it's been really small this past week but last night it popped a little bit. Small again today....

Lani's can have that random nice small day sometimes, even when it isn't breaking anywhere else.

Awesome. Sup surfing didn't exist when I lived on Kauai and Maui but I think to myself how many spots might be empty just because proners wouldn't want to paddle that far. Is that the case on Oahu's north shore?

There are spots that proners don't generally bother with except on the most perfect of days. Unfortunately, these spots are getting over-run with tow-in surfers instead.
