Ala Moana Bowls was quite the spectacle the morning of July 17, 2022 as magic island was crowded with onlookers witnessing the biggest south swell in decades peak on Oahu's South Shore. In the water, there were only a few surfboards and a lot more bodyboarders out there as the entire channel was closing out with bombing sets. A number of surf breaks appear in the second half of the video which you may not recognize because it hasn't been like this since May 17/18 of 2013. The ending tribute to a great man that used to surf out here. God bless those that have come before us talking story about the ol' days, fighting until the end, and gone on to be with the Lord.
