New Yorkers were reading about Turtle Bay in the Wall Street Journal today. Good to see the whole ordeal finally making it to the forefront. Lingle’s plan has already been authorized and had 5 meetings discussing the details. She has dedicated a whole webpage to keeping folks updated on the issue. http://hawaii.gov/gov/turtlebay Along with Linda Lingle, we can thank surfers like Karen Gallagher of Paumalu Press and Mark Cunningham with Defend Oahu Coalition who have been key players. Its pretty exciting! Today’s surf was not exciting however; FLAT on the Northshore and town was about as small as it gets too. Jamie O Brien who qualified for the wildcard at Teahupoo is probably hoping the South Pacific would get its groove back, but it is not looking too good for the near future. Its looking like he might have to pull out his bag of tricks to advance in the main event where he will come against world champion Mick Fanning and fellow Hawaiian powerhouse Pancho Sullivan in his first heat.
