Surfing - Van's Triple Crown Contest
太陽太陽太陽2008 Van's Triple Crown of Surfing太陽太陽太陽

Hawaii’s premier surfing event, The Van’s Triple Crown, started this weekend on Oahu’s North shore. The event brings the best surfers in the world to Hawaii for six weeks of competition. This week, the festivities began at Haleiwa where the waves were almost 10 foot Hawaiian. The event changes beaches each week. The Triple Crown will travel to Pipeline, Sunset Beach and other famous surfing beaches. Here is some early video from the event.

Academia students love this time of year. Many of our students are surfers or surfing fans and enjoy attending all the world-class surfing events on Oahu. This year is no different as we have students and groups going up to the North shore to attend the Triple Crown.パンチ

Did you know Hawaiian's measure waves differently than in other countries. The "Hawaiian Method" measures the height of the wave from the back.. People in California or Australia measure the height of the wave from the front or "face". The "Hawaiian Method" underestimates the height of a wave rather than overestimating. For example, in California a surfer may say he rode a 20 foot wave, but in Hawaii that wave would only be 10 feet!ぎょ
