New Ocean Wave is the home of the Pacific Rowing Race. New Ocean Wave are extremely proud to launch the Pacific Rowing Race 2014. In June 2014 ocean rowing crews from around the world will set off from the Californian coastline and start rowing West. Using only human power crews will row round the clock to compete for the highest accolade, the chance to be the first across the finish line in Hawaii and win the first Pacific Rowing Race. For some just completing the event is the challenge and we are committed to helping every crew equally to achieve a safe ocean passage. Success in an event of this scale requires a combination of skills including teamwork, navigational know-how, weather and routing skills, physical ability and mental strength, together with an element of luck. With a mix of these skills, together with willpower and determination, anyone can achieve the unbelievable. We want you to be in one of those boats.

Kahaluu Bay – Kailua Kona, Hawaii – May 18, 2012

This is a good snorkeling spot near Kailua Kona. The video isn’t as sharp as it should be. I am told that underwater video recorded on GoPro cameras is out of focus because the portion of the waterproof housing that covers the lens is curved. This curved part distorts the image. There is an aftermarket fix that consists of a replacement housing that is flat over the lens area but it retails for more than 1/3 the cost of the GoPro. Unless you have plenty of $’s I recommend waiting for GoPro to fix the design flaw. Special thanks to Jason and Joseph for the snippet. Aloha !

Snow in Hawaii 2012: Mauna Kea

Music: “NIBIRU” by Pasha iTunes: bit.ly Driving up Mauna Kea Hawaii 2012 was crazy and awesome. 30% less oxygen in the cold atmosphere makes it hard to breathe and move around, so a short hike to the peak at 13796ft was more challenging than anticipated. The snow cover was unpredictable with exposed and unexposed rocks. Some areas looked ridable! I could not resist the temptation to ride down the mountain on a bodyboard rental. Dangerous, but worth the thrill. (fine print: do not attempt)
