"bigger and better than any waveriding spot I've ever sailed" as the King once said. Not today, Epicly gnarley sums it up pretty well. Also, the best windsurfing movie ever made, <a href="http://vimeo.com/35474898">R.I.P.</a> is up on the web for free. So stoked!<br />
<br />
This winter is looking promising, I've heard whispers that our good buddy El Nino is coming back after a two year hiatus.<br />

It might be a fake but I still lake it,
"The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered, ‘Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.’"

Costa Rica was incredible, surf everyday. I've never been on a surf trip where there was waves everyday. Super fun. I'll have some stories and pics as soon as I go through them all, plus some Chile stories, surf travel info and toilet talk. Lots of action to come. Here is a pick from a Chilean sunset, pretty much everyday looked like this

<br />
Right now I'm stuck in L.A. I've been here for 10 hours, and I still have 7 to go. Miserable, no. With a smile and a few jokes I managed to use my expired free pass ticket to get into the American Admirals club. Free food, showers, make shift beds, and free beer!! Also, more serious haircuts, suits and ties, and computer tablets than I have ever seen. <br />
<br />
One of my favorite travel stories is from my second year doing the PWA tour. I was coming back from Lanzarote in the Canaries to Maui. I had partied pretty hard the night before and woke up hurting. I spent the entire 3 hour flight from Lanzarote to London sick in the bathroom. Not fun. I was flying with the Prichards and a few other people and when we got into London they told me they were going to travel through Europe and that I was going to take their gear the rest of the way home. I was the rookie, so they weren't asking, they were telling me. We collected out bags and they set me up right in front of the check in counter. I built myself a bed out of the 27 pieces of windsurfing gear and slept there until my flight in the morning. 27 bags, how was I going to do this? Were they going to belive that all of this stuff belonged to me? How much was this going to cost? I hear about surfers and golfers complaining about traveling, they have no idea. I picked the nicest looking lady, smiled, and handed over my passport. I tried to get a few jokes in, and tell my story about sleeping on the floor. "Are you checking any bags?" The moment of truth. "Yes, 27 pieces, that pile over there." Luckily for me, she didn't freak out, she laughed and said I must be a windsurfer. Golden. She charged about half of what I was expecting, didn't weigh any of them, and then bumped up to business class the whole way home. To top it all off she made a note that I was traveling with so many bags, and when I got to customs in L.A. they pushed my bags through for me. The guys whose bags I carried couldn't belive it. <br />

Scored some epic surf, and have been catching up on the movies lately. The last one I saw was Seabiscuit. It's about a horse, trainer, rich guy, and nation that was down and out. Destined for mediocracy, misery, or being killed, this horse, trainer, rich guy and nation with a little love and determination became something great. It's about not giving up on someone because there a little banged up, every life is precise.<br />
<br />
Well, I went dumpster diving this week and scored a 7'5"ish(it doesn't say what size it is) Ole longboard/funboard that was going to be chopped up and turned into filler foam to fix other boards. A classic board that should be on a wall somewhere not chopped and discarded. It needs some repairs but it has plenty of life left in it.<br />

Yeah we’re native. We live in grass shacks, wear hula skirts and malos, eat coconuts everyday, jump off cliffs, and climb bamboo trees. One day a GoPro drifted ashore next to one of our huts so we decided to make a video for the world to see our island paradise. WARNING: Please do not try these stunts unless under the supervision of a Hawaiian. Aloha A Hui Hou.<br />

After we kick out, why is our first thought on getting another one?<br />
<br />
Is it because it is our only chance to touch, feel, and ride something naturally elemental. Different kinds of waves are everywhere but our interactions with most of them are minimal. They give us sun burns, we fell sound waves course through our body, but we don't get the chance to dance upon them and feel their power unleashed. The natural beauty and godly sublimeness of it all etches its way into our minds, hearts, and souls and keeps us coming back through anything and everything.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm out of the water again with a neck and back injury. Not my favorite but I'm letting it heal and not pushing it this time! Lots of carnage at Ho'okipa this week.<br />

I found this on Tatiana's <a href="http://www.tatianahoward.com/blog/">blog</a><br />
<br />
<iframe src="http://www.storyofstuff.org/movies/embed_SoS.html" style="border:0px;" name="SoS_embed" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" align="top" height="600px" width="738px"> </iframe><br />
<br />
Then I found this quote from Victor Lebow:<br />
<br />
<br />
"Our enormously productive economy demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfactions, our ego satisfactions, in consumption. The measure of social status, of social acceptance, of prestige, is now to be found in our consumptive patterns. The very meaning and significance of our lives today expressed in consumptive terms. The greater the pressures upon the individual to conform to safe and accepted social standards, the more does he tend to express his aspirations and his individuality in terms of what he wears, drives, eats- his home, his car, his pattern of food serving, his hobbies.<br />
These commodities and services must be offered to the consumer with a special urgency. We require not only “forced draft” consumption, but “expensive” consumption as well. We need things consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced, and discarded at an ever increasing pace. We need to have people eat, drink, dress, ride, live, with ever more complicated and, therefore, constantly more expensive consumption. The home power tools and the whole “do-it-yourself” movement are excellent examples of “expensive” consumption."<br />
<br />
<br />
Hopefully we are moving away from those ideas and more into the thinking of Paul Hawken in his book Ecology of Commerce.<br />
<br />
Epic swells coming, the one on Tuesday just got 2 upgrades from the weather models!!! Could be Epic!!!! <br />

I'm going to have a new section on here, every Sunday I will post a like and don't like section to sum up the week.<br />
This weeks likes and don't likes are:<br />
<br />
Like<br />
Being in the Ocean more hours then sleeping<br />
Being the last person on the water<br />
Getting pounded and quickly humbled by the power of the ocean<br />
Outer reefs breaking from top to bottom<br />
Hitting a mast and half outer reef lip<br />
Tourists tipping me fat<br />
Kona winds<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't likes<br />
Working more hours than sleeping<br />
Haole kooks with bad vibes<br />
Getting caught inside with lines stacking up on the outside<br />
People ditching their boards right in front of me<br />
Pretty much everything else tourists doNicholas Warmuthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06725444094994332949noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375383885935151681.post-76380918584587647842012-01-09T08:27:00.001-10:002012-01-09T08:38:40.751-10:00The best week so farIt's a good week when you spend more time in the ocean than sleeping. Three back to back solid swells in the last week. Glassy morning surf session and afternoon sailing. <br />
<br />
Pe'ahi was a zoo on the water and on the cliff. Here's a vid of the madness. As I said <a href="http://nickwarmuth.blogspot.com/2011/02/insane-must-see.html">here</a> in a post last year, that one wave from Danilo has changed everything out there. Epic wipeouts. Albee's barrel at 3:40 was amazing. The lineup is filled with the best big wave and paddle in surfers in the world, and the little local Maui kid gets the wave of the day. <br />

I see godliness in everything around me but our man made fit everything into the same box religions don't do it justice. I'm more <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animism">animistic</a> with a splash of buddhism in there. Don't be a sheep, find your own spiritual path.<br />
<br />
Anyways, Winter officially started last week <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_solstice">winter solstice</a> and that was my main reason for celebration. Christmas day was a blast and my body has been recovering for the rest of the week. Back to back storms are setting up off Japan. Finally some glassy waves. Epicness to come.<br />

I love watching and have a great respect for people who have mastered their craft. Whether it's surfing, windsurfing, mountain biking, pole-dancing, cooking or even fucking bowling. Not everyone has the drive or courage to focus on mastering something. It takes a mix of dedication, time and raw talent. It's people like this that push the level of what we believe is possible and inspire people for generations. Maybe we can all strive to master something.Nicholas Warmuthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06725444094994332949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375383885935151681.post-21241660849175246282011-12-12T10:59:00.001-10:002011-12-12T11:05:09.589-10:00Antelopes are sneaky fuckersHere is your stupid video to start off your week.<br />

And here is a little poetry written by a good friend of mine.<br />
<br />
Pulse<br />
In one second<br />
Your heart pumps two times<br />
You blink both eyes<br />
You feel awake<br />
You clap your hands<br />
You scream out loud<br />
You turn the light switch on<br />
In one second,<br />
You feel alive.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I. Garden Rest<br />
Thick blanket of emerald grass<br />
Rubs against my back<br />
Cold wet leaves,<br />
Poke every inch of my leather skin <br />
<br />
My eyes shut down<br />
Like closed books, no magic goes out<br />
Consumed by the deep black dreams<br />
<br />
Rocking back and forth <br />
Feeling every end of each leaf<br />
Shaping it to fit my mold<br />
Parting the green sea <br />
<br />
I lie, I breathe, I dream<br />
Morning melodies calling me awake<br />
No more dreaming, open books<br />
Early sunshine<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
II. Not a Dream<br />
Sun rising to the east<br />
Sweet tender touching morning<br />
Fresh flower smells<br />
<br />
Songs of joy welcoming this new day,<br />
Birds moving to the morning rhythm<br />
All over the blue dance floor,<br />
One more day in paradise<br />
<br />
Sun kissed day<br />
Hot, bright, shine<br />
Waves roaring on the coast<br />
Some of us dream of paradise<br />
<br />
Sundown, time to calm<br />
Moon up, time for her<br />
Night stories and stellar shows<br />
Not a dream anymore<br />
My paradise, my island days<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I. March High<br />
You were standing here<br />
Just now, like a vibrant cardinal<br />
Your soul now flies into the vast sky<br />
<br />
You sing and laugh<br />
Melodies of pain and regret<br />
<br />
Your were lying here<br />
Just now, by my side<br />
<br />
Now you march into infinite paradise<br />
You sail the wind, and fly high<br />
Fast, reaching for your piece of sky<br />
<br />
How long would it take you<br />
To reach your destiny,<br />
Would you wait for me<br />
To come fly away with you<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
II. Run away<br />
It reaches you<br />
Pouring like heavy rain<br />
It strikes your veins, <br />
Like thunder lights<br />
You think you are ready,<br />
But you are not<br />
It hits you like cold rushing winter wind<br />
How could you escape?<br />
Run, Run away from it.<br />
<br />
Run until you feel no more<br />
Your legs collapse<br />
Into dark pavement<br />
No one will be watching<br />
As you escape away<br />
<br />
It must feel good<br />
Don’t worry, we will all run after you<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Still<br />
In one second<br />
Your heart stops beating<br />
Your eyes shut down<br />
Something takes you away<br />
Your clap echoes into the vast sky,<br />
You feel no more pain<br />
In one second,<br />
You take that step awayNicholas Warmuthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06725444094994332949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375383885935151681.post-77112660382283349042011-12-05T11:15:00.001-10:002011-12-06T11:56:38.542-10:00Chile in AprilGot my ticket, I'll be in Chile on April 20th to May 6th.

I've learned something new today as well, Hawaii's state slogan; Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono-which is translated as The Life of the Land is Perpetuated in Righteousness has another meaning. It can also be translated as the The SOVEREIGNTY of the land is perpetuated in Righteousness. It was first spoken publicly by Kamehameha III after England returned the Hawaiian lands it stole. This slogan is printed on every state seal and stamped on every document or thing the state owns. It's there for everyone to see, Hawaii is supposed to be sovereign and someday righteousness will guide it to that destination.Nicholas Warmuthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06725444094994332949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375383885935151681.post-72151049770257144782011-11-24T08:47:00.003-10:002011-11-24T10:08:47.321-10:00R.I.P. Big MikeI had an interesting day to say the least. I'll have a post a little bit later. We have to give thanks and make the most of each day that we have. Here's a video with lyrics below<br />

There's traffic in the sky<br />
And it doesn't seem to be getting much better<br />
There's kids playing games on the pavement<br />
Drawing waves on the pavement<br />
Shadows of the planes on the pavement<br />
Its enough to make me cry<br />
But that don't seem like it would make it feel better<br />
Maybe its a dream and if I scream<br />
It will burst at the seams<br />
This whole place will fall to pieces<br />
And then they'd say...<br />
<br />
Well how could we have known?<br />
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell<br />
If you keep on adding stones<br />
Soon the water will be lost in the well<br />
<br />
Puzzle pieces in the ground<br />
But no one ever seems to be digging<br />
Instead they're looking up towards the heavens<br />
With their eyes on the heavens<br />
There are shadows on the way to the heavens<br />
It's enough to make me cry<br />
But that don't seem like it would make it feel better<br />
The answers could be found<br />
We could learn from digging down<br />
But no one ever seems to be digging<br />
Instead they'll say...<br />
<br />
Well how could we have known?<br />
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell<br />
If you keep on adding stones<br />
Soon the water will be lost in the well<br />
<br />
Words of wisdom all around<br />
But no one ever seems to listen<br />
They're talking about their plans on paper<br />
Building up from the pavement<br />
There are shadows from the scrapers on the pavement<br />
It's enough to make me sigh<br />
But that don't seem like it would make it feel better<br />
The words are all around<br />
But the words are only sounds<br />
And no one ever seems to listen<br />
Instead they'll say<br />
<br />
Well how could we have known?<br />
I'll tell them it's really not so hard to tell<br />
If you keep on adding stones<br />
Soon the water will be lost in the well, lost in the wellNicholas Warmuthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06725444094994332949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375383885935151681.post-31418322929672441102011-11-07T17:59:00.000-10:002011-11-07T17:59:13.045-10:00La Nina in control+plus long long wavesWord is the Puta of surf, La Nina, is in control this winter.

Everything from judging, organization, parties, stoke and good vibes. Mahalos to everyone that made it happened.<br />
<br />
Here is my quick recap of the event that has consumed my life for the last week. <br />
Time on beach: 20+ hours<br />
Time competing: 12 minutes<br />
Total time on water: 2 hours<br />
Number of unforgettable waves: 1<br />
Epic solo sessions I will never forget: 1<br />
<br />
People who ripped: <br />
Camille-Pure talent. He brings his own style to wave sailing and will change the future of wave riding like Polakow, Levi, and Kauli have. <br />
Browzino-Mixes freestyle moves over the lip in critical sections.<br />
Kai-Sailed like a machine. I was rooting for him. He needed one more set in the final and he could have taken it.<br />
<br />
Dissapointed by:<br />
Levi-He is one of the best at Hookipa and I wish he had done the contest. I'm sure he has his reasons for not doing it though.<br />
P.W.A.-for restricting the top ten from doing the event, no Kauli, no Victor. Lame.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm not a competitive sailor and never have been. When I used to race I would be looking for ramps to jump the entire time. When I went to events I was enjoying the traveling much more than the sailing and competing. <br />
<br />
Friday<br />
Small waves and side-on wind. Had fun in my heat but got the boot by Fabrice and Nat. I was pretty miserable for an hour since the forecast was looking great for Monday and Tuesday and there wouldn't be time for a double elimination. Laura put everything in perspective for me and cheered me up. <br />
<br />
Saturday/Sunday-Spent the days cooking in the sun watching the event. People pay to come on vacation and sit around and do nothing??? <br />
<br />
Monday-Tricky light wind and a decent swell with bomb cleanup sets coming every half hour. If the surfer rule was in affect there would have been no windsurfing for sure. Exciting! Kai, Josh, Francisco in the same heat. Three legends of the sport. After watching them rip my hands started shaking and I NEEDED to go sailing. It was firing. Light wind, glassy waves, and jet ski rescue service. No brainer. They put the contest on hold and I got a few waves before they started it again. I watched from way out the back because I wanted to respect the contest and not interfere in any way. I was secretly hoping they would be done after that heat as well. After the contest was over I got on the water right away. I had flashes of the 2004 Aloha Classic. It was too big for me then, but all the pros went out after the contest and destroyed it in the light offshore wind. Some of the best sailing I've ever seen at Ho'okipa. I managed to avoid the rocks and dodge a couple sets and then the bomb came. I saw it on the horizon and tried to signal to my fried John Gangini who was surfing that a bomb set was coming. He was sitting on the inside and was going to and did take a serious beating. I picked the fattest, lumpyest, one of the set and probably the day and pumped like hell to get on it. Usually at this size it closes out and there's a huge rip running through the wave making it a sloppy mess. Not this one, 4 glassy turns and I was all smiles. That wave will keep my stoke meter at ecstatic for at least a week for sure. Got a couple more and called it a day as the surfers paddled out. This shot might be the third turn of that wave, not sure though <br />

In my creative writing class we were taught that your writing is an expression of yourself and you must not censor yourself. Only by expressing yourself can your writing truly grow. Thanks Mrs. Matsuda, so I'll be honest with you I only took your class because it was a writing intensive(need 5 to graduate) and your English 100 class was so easy a fat Thai Kid could have passed it while practicing for <i>American Idol season 37 </i> see video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA-tOsM6F4Y">here</a>. <br />
<br />
Anyways, I'm going to start being honest on this blog. I'm getting bored with "wind and waves were great life is awesome" posts, even though it is. Sorry if I offend my loyal readers(all 12 of them), shit there I go lying again, I'm not sorry. I hope you're offended. Complacencly leads to an agonizing death of ones spirit. Maybe you will get to see the world through a small piece of the lens that I see it through. Maybe you'll learn something and teach something in return. Maybe you'll tune out, I don't care.<br />
<br />
There will be more videos, more pics, and more music, I'll try to keep in ocean sport related but I can't promise you anything. <br />

On a different note, in Hawaiian tradition this time of the year is the beginning of Makahiki season. This was a time of celebration, competition, and relaxation for the Hawaiian people. Crops were harvested during the fall and with the oncoming swells, and storms fishing and agriculture went on hold. People stopped working and enjoyed a three month vacation from most day to day duties. Sounds like fun huh. In the spirit of Makahiki season, on to the contest! <br />

Sam has done an amazing job and to see the stoke of nearly everyone down at the beach is incredible. All the sponsors and everyone dedicating time to this event has made something really special. For me contests don't put me in a good state of mind. I get edgy and start snapping at my girlfriend for nothing. I think they aren't for me, but whatever. I enjoy the time on the water for sure but I don't feel the need to prove myself to anyone else. What do I care if you give me a 2 or 9 for my wave? I'm having fun.<br />

When I'm sailing I usually have a song stuck in my head, this was last weeks <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9VQye6P8k0">song</a> lyrics are below<br />
<br />
Peace<br />
<br />
[Nas Talking - Intro]<br />
Here we are<br />
here we are<br />
Yeah<br />
This one right here is for the people<br />
<br />
[Hook] (Sample -MAMADOU & MARIAM, “SABALI”)<br />
Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkontê<br />
Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye<br />
Ni kêra môgô<br />
Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkontê<br />
Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kagni<br />
Ni kêra môgô<br />
<br />
[Nas Talking]<br />
Ay yo D. Lets go all the way on this one.<br />
<br />
[Damian Marley - Verse 1]<br />
Some of the smartest dummies<br />
Can’t read the language of Egyptian mummies<br />
An’ a fly go a moon<br />
And can’t find food for the starving tummies<br />
Pay no mind to the youths<br />
Cause it’s not like the future depends on it<br />
But save the animals in the zoo<br />
Cause the chimpanzee dem a make big money<br />
This is how the media pillages<br />
On the TV the picture is<br />
Savages in villages<br />
And the scientist still can’t explain the pyramids, huh<br />
Evangelists making a living on the videos of ribs of the little kids<br />
Stereotyping the image of the images<br />
And this is what the image is<br />
You buy a khaki pants<br />
And all of a sudden you say a Indiana Jones<br />
An’ a thief out gold and thief out the scrolls and even the buried bones<br />
Some of the worst paparazzis I’ve ever seen and I ever known<br />
Put the worst on display so the world can see<br />
And that’s all they will ever show<br />
So the ones in the west<br />
Will never move east<br />
And feel like they could be at home<br />
Dem get tricked by the beast<br />
But a where dem ago flee when the monster is fully grown?<br />
Solomonic linage whe dem still can’t defeat and them coulda never clone<br />
My spiritual DNA that print in my soul and I will forever Own Lord<br />
<br />
[Hook]<br />
<br />
[Nas talking]<br />
Yeah, Sabali. Thats patience. That’s what the old folks told me…<br />
Discovering the World before this World. A World buried in time.<br />
Uncover with rhymes. It gets no realer.<br />
<br />
[Damian Marley: Verse 2]<br />
Huh, we born not knowing, are we born knowing all?<br />
We growing wiser, are we just growing tall?<br />
Can you read thoughts? can you read palms?<br />
Huh, can you predict the future? can you see storms, coming?<br />
The Earth was flat if you went too far you would fall off<br />
Now the Earth is round if the shape change again everybody woulda start laugh<br />
The average man can’t prove of most of the things that he chooses to speak of<br />
And still won’t research and find out the root of the truth that you seek of<br />
Scholars teach in Universities and claim that they’re smart and cunning<br />
Tell them find a cure when we sneeze and that’s when their nose start running<br />
And the rich get stitched up, when we get cut<br />
Man a heal dem broken bones in the bush with the wed mud<br />
Can you read signs? can you read stars?<br />
Can you make peace? can you fight war?<br />
Can you milk cows, even though you drive cars? huh<br />
Can you survive, Against All Odds, Now?<br />
<br />
[Hook]<br />
<br />
[Nas]<br />
It’s crazy when you feed people the truth you don’t know how they’re gonna react. You’re scared of wrong doers, people that just ignorant, You’re scared of the truth, be patient for now.<br />
<br />
[Nas: Verse 3]<br />
Who wrote the Bible? Who wrote the Qur’an?<br />
And was it a lightning storm<br />
That gave birth to the Earth<br />
And then dinosaurs were born? damn<br />
Who made up words? who made up numbers?<br />
And what kind of spell is mankind under?<br />
Everything on the planet we preserve and can it<br />
Microwaved it and try it<br />
No matter what we’ll survive it<br />
What’s hue? what’s man? what’s human?<br />
Anything along the land we consuming<br />
Eatin’, deletin’, ruin<br />
Trying to get paper<br />
Gotta have land, gotta have acres<br />
So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson<br />
Watch n-ggas play the game like the lakers<br />
In a world full of 52 fakers<br />
Gypsies, seances, mystical prayers<br />
You superstitious? throw salt over your shoulders<br />
Make a wish for the day cuz<br />
Like somebody got a doll of me<br />
Stickin’ needles in my arteries<br />
But I can’t feel it<br />
Sometimes it’s like ‘pardon me, but I got a real big spirit’<br />
I’m fearless…. I’m fearless<br />
Don’t you try and grab hold of my soul<br />
It’s like a military soldier since seven years old<br />
I held real dead bodies in my arms<br />
Felt their body turn cold, oh<br />
Why we born in the first place<br />
If this is how we gotta go?<br />
Damn.<br />
<br />
This goes to all the wisdom and knowledge seekers of the World. Sabali, Patience, yeah.<br />
[End]<br />
