Santa is going to Deliver( BIG TIME)

Well first of all Merry Xmas to everyone..I hope everyone has a great holiday season with there friends and family. Lots of food and drinks to be had I'm sure.. Well looks like Santa is going to deliver with another round of solid swell on its way to Hawaii predicted to arrive Xmas morning at 19ft @ 17 sec which will mean Peahi( Jaws), Waimea Bay and all the outer reefs will be firing and most probably solid 20 ft Hawaiian. The perfect present if you are a surfer and over in Hawaii right now. Got to love El Nino hey.. As for here at home on the Gold Coast we are dealing with some weird weather at the moment and small surf .. But its all good u just have to be motivated and get on it early before the dreaded northerlies kick in.. I have been pretty busy with my Jamie Mitchell School of Paddle & Surf business.. Its been pretty busy the last few months and coming into Xmas and New Year it's only getting more and more busy. My brother Justin has come on board and is helping me alot with the School so its working out awesome.. Well that's about it for now. Not sure if I'm going to try and catch this swell in Hawaii or not.. Bad timing Santa..ahah.. Take care everyone and enjoy the time off...Jamie

  1. On Maui right now -- been very stoked thus far at various local spots, and it's only getting bigger! I'd love to have the opportunity to have a picture akin to your's at Peahi. Beautiful and it really shows the scale of the wave.
