When one thinks of Pipeline in May, one might be tempted to think about a lazy, golden stretch of sand fronted by an endlessly calm and blue Pacific Ocean. Perfect for chilling out and taking quick dips into the shallows to cool off. Relaxing, spring break kind of stuff. This past Saturday, though known as May Day in some places and Lei Day in Hawaii saw an actual proper west swell roll in. Yeah, it ended up a bit tattered by tradewinds and too much sand, but some locals (and a few lucky visitors) managed to get out amongst it and pull into what will very likely be the last overhead tubes seen at Pipe till next fall.

Yeah, we know it’s March, but Valentine gifts can be tough. It’s great to go big one year but the problem with that, is you’re expected to top that the next. And sometimes, that just ain’t tenable. You gotta start small, sweet, and from the heart. Cards. Flowers. Work your way up there. Keep the ceiling low. Of course, you know who totally disregarded that advice last month? Mother Nature.
