Those one's didn't seem to be Ted but I didn't venture down that way at night much,just stuck around the southern end where we were staying and most of the good restaurants are down that way,only once to go out for dinner at Dukes.Pretty expensive to eat at Dukes and the food portions are only small but excellent delicious steak and the surroundings are cool.
I've got another pic here of another alley where it is choc a block full of longboards,maybe in there summer it gets more busier with fuller racks!...

Here's another one Ted,I think the closer you get to Pops maybe the fuller they are,you don't have to carry them to far?
Some of these where gimmick type boards but there where a few good ones amongst them!...

Hey Chrispy,no worries mate,I loved every minute of taking pics of all the boards and the holiday,hopefully go back next year for a couple of weeks.Yeah there's literally hundreds of those tufflites over there every surfboard rental place has them,mainly the NSP's,not ideal but they go ok,good if you don't want to lug you're own around on planes though.I did a bit of deal with this dude over there which only cost me $50 for 5 days and I could change to any size board I liked

Just a bit of info.If anyone wants to hire a board over in Waikiki,I found Big Wave Daves prices to be about the cheapest.He's located about half way along the Waikiki strip and about 2 blocks back from the beach!...

Great work AL. Bringing back a few memories.
Good to see someone was smart enough to take a camera.. Iphones are rubbish for taking board photos...

Now how is your new one going???

Hey SP,called in to see where Bob's up to today mate,he's finished shaping it,looks great,I almost changed my mind when I was there about painting it
