The Inertia

Winter is here. Not technically, of course — that’s not until December 21 — but to anyone who’s not going off of technicalities, it’s here. If you’re in Hawaii, the first real swell that lights up the North Shore is certainly the best indicator of the changing of the seasons, and Jamie O’Brien is, without a doubt, one of winter’s biggest fans.

That’s because he’s got a bit of a crush on Pipeline, and Pipeline wakes up in the winter. So when the first real swell of the winter hit his little stretch of reef, you can bet he was excited.
