North Shore

When we would ooh and awe at big waves on the Big Island, Doug would smile his Doug smile and say, "Just wait."

Right out the back door to our hotel on Oahu there were surfers.  We sat for quite a while watching the surfers ride some huge waves.  We thought surely this is what Doug was talking about.  Doug smiled his Doug smile and said, "Just wait."

Later we went beach hopping along the North Shore.  Brad was salivating over the huge telephoto lenses that other photographers were using to capture the surfers far out on the enormous waves.  There were some impressive waves with some impressive surfers.  Doug just smiled his Doug smile.  Doug was right.  It was worth waiting for.
