Thanks a lot man, ya the waves can be pretty nuts here in Winter. You should definitely visit some time.
I was checking out your trip to Hawaii, that looked sweet man. Definitely want to visit there one day. Is it expensive out there for food, drink, hotel etc?
Compared to Los Angeles, Hawaii seems pretty normal. A few things are a bit more expensive but things are more or less the same, at least to us. My guess is coming from anywhere other than LA or NYC it will seem really expensive. Definitely not a cheap trip, but for surfers I'd say it's definitely worth it!
Ireland is pretty expensive as well, especially Dublin, just any friends who have visited over the years.
Thanks for the steer though, definitely somewhere we'd like to visit some day. My wife loves Hawaii and has always wanted to go, so should be an easy sell!! π
By the way i checked out some of your old posts... sweet threads...
