No surfing pics as the surf was big and like most places in the PNW the waves break so far out that it is useless to take pictures. Some of the best waves I've seen in the PNW.

SICKKK TR!! Way to get after it! :yourock:

Possibly another trip before you take off for Hawaii might be in order.

tried calling you the other night. went straight to the machine.

were going to tofino next weekend and shortsands the week after. let me know.

Is that a Mitsubishi Delica I spy, Phil? I had one of those for three years in Japan and loved it. Great clearance, 4WD and you can change gear inside. I found it way more practical than an SUV. I assumed it would not be legal in the US but hadn't thought about Canada. Sweet.

Looks like a fun surf trip too.
