So lets say you stumbled onto the Super Bowl!

It seems when ever we go on a trip (who ever we may be) we end up at the right place at the right time....

*Visit White Sands NM the only day of the year you can visit Trinity Point (where the tested the first Nuclear Bomb)

*Visit Mt Saint Helens the exact day it erupted 20 years earlier so as to get in free and find out more than usual

*End up being able to sleep on Halfdome although usually takes much advance preparation (end up there with no preparation)

*Working temp at Bethel on YTK new years (not that I had any part in the festivities, but it was the one place on earth getting all the attention as supposed imminent doom was to fall)

*Being in Miami for one of the few times it has ever snowed in history

So thats just a few, and why should our trip to Hawaii be any different? So we are headed up to the north shore, (some of the greatest surfing in the world! We expect to watch some good surfing. But instead we stumble into the finals of the world championship. It’s being covered by ESPN and all that! We are talking the super bowl of surfing! Pretty Cool! So with all my camera gear, my long 300mm Zoom lens I head out to take pictures with the rest of the reporters, media, etc. Kinda cool... it was my moment of being part of the Paparazzi. So there ya have it the right place at the rite time! (Another right place at the right time in the future (a few occurred on this trip)).

O yes. The surf championship. It was really cool! I got to see Kelly Slate in person! I never heard of the guy but he came in fourth. But. it was still cool tho. All Right! One day i may stumble upon them again. Later people!

So did you get beat up by any rabid celebrities? Surfing is a cool sport, one that requires swimming though, so I won't be learning it.
