Himis!!!!
I Love this place, on a big westswell, low tide, and at least a 7'6 for the small 6-8ft days. The left drains off the shelf and bowls so hard. Broke my coveted James Jones Tuberider gun on a 8-12ft day because I got detonated trying to escape from a huge right that caught me. I love the rights and the lefts. Never really that crowded because of the beatings that get handed out. Good training wave for sunset. Himi's is a fickle spot though, it takes the right kinda swell to light up, and has a mean bounce on the rights on higher tides. It is always shifting around and there is a huge amount of water moving around which makes it hard to get into the wave on smaller boards. I tried a few times on a 6'4 and had a few episodes. When its thumping though- you can catch some bombs that you will burn in your thoughts forever.

Townies are a joke...
It was so funny, owning property on Makaha Point, and, going out on a small day. Stupid townies would try hassling me, till MR. Desoto, Brian, or Melvin said hello, and treated me with the respect I earned, by riding 25 foot point surf.
Tony is an excellent surfer, and a class act. I thought Chesser died, didn't he?

Great picture, thank you
Excellent shot. Now double the size, and you get it on a Bay max day.

WOW!
That's a really cool photo... this spot is hard to photograph like that. Maybe the cameraman was on a jetski? Anyway, I went right out there the other day and thank God I made the wave... the lip would have killed me for sure had it caught me. So much water, so so heavy. Don't go right if its 10'+ or you will pay!

I got worked at Himi's
In 1985 I was surfing good size Jockos at about 5-7 footers. Me and my bros ate some mushrooms prior surfing (which was a mistake. It kept getting bigger and bigger so we all paddled to Lani's. It was packed with all the pros and the swell now was 8-10. By now none of us were surfing, we were just watching the pros rip while we were on mushrooms. Unfortunately the swell continued to increase in size. By now all my friends had paddled in and I was alone. I had drifted down to the edge of Himilayas. I knew I had to get in and was gonna do a kamakazi. Well I didn't get that far. A freak set came in at Himi's, busted about 10 yards in front of me and washed me and a few other lost souls crashing towards shore. I poped up to see another set bust outside so I turned my board towards the beach, paddled like a mutha and let the freaking wall of water POUND ME. I made it to shore and saw all my friends standing on the beach and they said... "Murf, were you surfing all this time? I just laughed and said "Yeah, only in my head though". I'll never paddle out there again.

Danger Will Robinson, Danger!
This place is not for weekend warriors or townies. Very dangerous wave that can trap you outside with no way to get in when it gets big. Notice that it hardly gets crowded? Well, because it takes sack to paddle into one of these waves. Very unfogiving. I had a military buddy almost die out here - it in between the eyes with his board. If you take a bite out of this wave, be prepared to swallow what you bite. Leave it to the experienced gang and go surf Chuns if you have raisins instead of walnuts.

scariesst place ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this spot is so scary and crazy
I came from cali last winter to surf the north shore the waves got huge and I decided to go surf this spot named himalyas which is really hard wave to work
I saw 3 tiger sharks my arms turned into noodles because of paddeling for so long and I got so smashed by the sets because of the rip sending me into the impact zone
this was one of the scariest most dangerous session ever and I almost died after all of this trouble I went through I didnt catch one wave and went in laying down on my board when I got into the shore I saw a huge turtle under me thought it was a shark and freaked out im never going back!!!!!!!!!!dont go there the locals are scary!!!!!
