The first time I rode the Bay I was shaking and wondering what am I doing. I trained for that moment for 14 years. I was 20 and the year was 1978 and the Bay was 20-25 feet. I returned to town and got in my lifeguard tower on Waikiki and watched the sun go down knowing that I am a waterman.

Hi James. I remember, when I was a kid, reading about your exploits at The Bay, trying to be the first to tube ride a twenty footer. I remember you as one of the most rock solid big wave surfers of your time. And you eventually became the first surfer to ride the barrel on twenty five plus! That's man size balls, and you've got them. Our hats off to you mate.

That is because you didnt surf it big enough to require them, else you wouldn't have surfed it. The jetskis are vital now to keep surfers from drowning. Going over with the lip and being stuck on the inside is a probable death sentence at most breaks when waves are "big" by today's standards. On big days there are no "crowds" outside of the worlds best. A good example is in this very video. They were "charging big waves" when a 20 foot swell was coming. Nowadays they don't even hold the Eddie Invitational at Waimea unless the reported swell is ATLEAST 60 feet, meaning there will be waves in the bay 70+. Guys survive because they condition themselves year round for such major hold downs and if they are lucky a jetski will manage to get them out of the inside before the next set. The "no leashes" thing really says it all. There is no holding onto your board in big waves. If you didnt have a leash you would have to go to the beach to find your smashed board before you even caught a wave.

We went to the Bay and park at the church and walk across the road onto the rocks on the point, my dad told me the waves where 40ft , saw a guy with black and white shorts make 6 rides in a hour! I was in my teens when I was into surfing in North Carolina that I found out who that guys was ! RIP Greg

Scott James... At first, it was always incorrectly pronounced why-uh-mea. It wasn't until recently, about the last fifteen years or so ago, that everyone finally started to pronounce it correctly - why-mea. That's why you'll hear in older surf movies and the older surfers mispronouncing of The Bay's name that way. Same with Haleiwa, everyone pronounced it with a W instead of a V.
@gregcarter8656
3 жыл бұрын
Native speakers of Hawaiian language always pronounce(d) it correctly: Wai + mea. "Wai" means water, "mea" means reddish brown (the color of Hawaiian soil/dirt). The name is from the stream water ("wai"), often brown ("mea") due to rain washing dirt into the stream. The "why-uh-mea" pronunciation came simply from ignorance of the Wai-mea pronunciation, and maybe confusion based on the name of nearby Wai-a-lua.
@gregcarter8656
3 жыл бұрын
W and V are in free variation in Hawaiian language. In other words, they are one-and-the-same sound. You say WAI, it means "water". You say VAI, it means "water". No difference. Also, Haleʻiwa or Haleʻiva, same thing, no difference. Technically, [ w ] and [ v ] are allophones of the Hawaiian phoneme / w /. This is similar in some other languages also, like Hindi/Urdu. W/V is seen in some cognates, like English "Water", German "Wasser" [ Vasser ].

That's coming from James Jones, one of the greatest surfers to ever live. Pioneer big wave surfboard designer/shaper, pioneer of huge big wave high performance. James didn't just take off and stand there, he was one of the first ones to take command of the entire surf spot and each wave he caught, whether there were others out there or not, and do deep carves in the pit and get deeply barreled at Waimea, where others were frozen stiff and running for their lives. Sometimes at Waimea or Pipeline, he would sit patiently for hours in a place where no one else was sitting, and then all of a sudden out of nowhere, here comes the wave of the day, and James isn't just on it, he is as far out as you could possibly catch it, reads it like a master, holds a perfect line in the deepest part of the wave in every section, and rides it as far as you could ride it. Definatley a stand out anywhere he surfed. A true icon of a Hawaiian Surfing Legend for many many decades at all the best spots on Oahu and the outer islands, on all the best swells. Whenever I was lucky enough to catch a classic swell going off and I saw James Jones in his car studying the waves I knew I was on the right track.
