Rough Conditions on a Beautiful Day at the North Shore

The ominous "No Swimming" sign posted at Sunset Beach and not even ONE surfer tried the water here

I drove up to the North Shore on Tuesday. I took my body board and was ready to test the surf at Waimea Bay but despite the warm weather and lack of wind, the ocean was closed except to experienced surfers and experienced body boarders and body surfers with fins. I talked to a couple of guys who were body surfing with fins and took these pictures. Hope you enjoy them!
