    Chris, How about the Activator... anything sent to Hawaii yet? I am arriving on Oahu the 11th and leaving the 13th Feb back to Big Island.

    Hana, the waves pumped here this week. double over head in some spots. Used my 6-6 quadra five with AM-2s' and Stamps quads on the bigger stuff. 6-4 Hellfire with Am-2 off the point. crowds thinned out finally once we had back to back days of surf.

    Great to hear that you guys scored some waves. I Know Kona can be real fickle, so its great that these big west swells are wrapping in there. So how you liking the Hellfire?

    wow good to hear fritzcat. The new models are still a bit away from HI, some will start to trickle in soon though. I would say if you have a board you know you want to order, go to your local shop and place the order and we'll get you the board even if we aren't shipping large inventories for retail at that point.

    In other words, special orders are easier and faster to fill...

    Cheers
