It's November, the time of year when competitive surfing gets back on solids. Earlier this week, while the WT pros were wobbling about in Santa Cruz, the first two days of competition at the HIC Hawaiian Pro went down at meaty Sunset. It was a classic early season swell with light trades grooming the surface clean and a host of wave-starved locals tearing into it. 

Competition should resume tomorrow with another hearty swell due to hit the North Shore.
