I got 3 years - Tia Blanco kicking butt in Cali - HDR on iPhone4 - Contests updates


wow, Kelly does it again! another win for him and the world title #10 is looking really close.

i was talking to Sister (Kelia Moniz) today and i've decided that i can still become a world champion surfer. if Kelly can do it at age 38, i have 3 years to get that good and get my title. ha ha.

Remember Tia Blanco? I did her profile on Novus Swell before she moved to Cali. Here's her profile video.

Well, she's making some noise in California already. She's the Grom of the Week on San Clemente Times!
here's the link to the article.

So good to see her doing well in California. BUT California better not get too comfortable with her cuz Hawaii's gonna get her back one day! ha ha

Congrats Tia and keep it up!

So i've been checking out new features on my iPhone 4 and one thing i really like is HDR on the camera.

what it does is take 3 photos really quick. one over exposed, one normal, and one under expose. the iPhone automatically put 3 photos together to get better photo.

here's a photo without HDR. see how everyone but Zeke are in the shade and can't see them that well?

Here's a photo with HDR. Now you can see everyone! only thing is since it takes 3 photos, if the subjects move, you get the ghost effect, like Zeke's leg.
i'm liking this a lot tho. i used to take a photo, open it on an app, fix the exposure and post the photo.

i know some of you are thinking "well, just tell the kids to move" but that's impossible! kids don't listen and the last thing they want to do is move around to pose for a photo.

so this HDR feature alone will save me some time!

Oh, before i go... KOA TREE FOUNDATION Sandy's event is CANCELLED. so only contest this weekend is North Shore Menehune contest.

but looks like it might be flat as a lake this weekend up in Haleiwa, so i'll keep you posted if anything changes.

was this masked man on his way to kill someone?

i was on my way to pick up Joy and Jenna when i saw this car...
i just thought how nice to live here in the country where freedom of speech is protected...
but i was thinking "i want to see what kind of guy is driving this car?" so i passed him and this is what i saw!
wow! this guy was full on wearing a face mask like he's ready to go kill someone! this guy was creeping me out so i had to let him pass me so he won't follow me to the girls' houses.

i wonder if he was wearing the mask cuz he didn't want to be seen with all the hate statements on his window... if he was, why did he even put those on his car?

i just hope he wasn't on his way to kill anyone.
