Stink Eye - Da Duke is rolling about these stink eye comments. All that is left for "Tamba" and punk wave riders is to patrol a surf line. "Get a life." Advice that would serve you well. All over the world there are punks holding camp over what they believe to be pristine surf spots. When in fact, they don't hold anything. The OCEAN does! There isn't a stink eye that can kick the ocean's ass - and at the end of the ride - when punks like those at Kalihiwai Point harass others, the ocean is plotting its own justice against them. The OCEAN is for everyone - it's the last and what some say the Holy Grail to life. As an American, I'm totally ashamed of what the "white" MFs did to the Monarchy. Having said that, Hawai'i IS a Sovereign nation. Heck, the punks throwing stink eye don't know the meaning much less how to spell it.
Nuf said. I suggest you roll up your boards and welcome those who visit. After all, you want to leave a legacy of Aloha. Right?
