Aloha,
Tomorrow I will be in Las Vegas to do TV and Radio PR interviews for a charity event sponsored by Surfrider and Make a Difference Las Vegas at the Green Valley Resort. They will feature the Out There surf movie and concert. So if you can make it to, or are in Las Vegas on the evening of Aug 23rd don’t miss it. Kealii and I will be there signing posters. If you can make it you will be the first to see scenes from our mind boggling movie “Glacier Surfing”For more information click below.
Then the MAGIC men’s apparel Trade Show runs from the 25th to the 28th. I’ve been held down at Jaws and Teahupoo and Mavericks and a lot of other places so I guess I can handle a week in Las Vegas. I hear they have a wave pool there with 40 foot faces! Nah only a joke, ha ha ha…
Well the fun family days of summer and travels to the Southern Hemi, chasing the endless winter, are coming to an end. The ocean is starting to growl in the Northern Hemi. Already there was a early storm system that moved through the North Pacific - and today there is some surf on the North Shore, with most of the crowd still in town.
The ocean has been on the bubble in the Southern Hemisphere. I saw some photos of the session at Dungeons and I was thinking: Looked fun!!!. Would have loved to be invited to that Red Bull event! Still trying to figure out what how get in.
Right now on the cusp between summer and winter I have been taking care of home and the ohana, clearing decks for when the sleeping giant wakes up. We moved up Pupukea road so I am remodeling our house and putting two new homes on our lot. It’s a good feeling to build your own houses.
After that I will spend a month or two in Malibu doing RND on Stand Up Paddle Boards for all conditions, racing boards and paddles as well. Then I have to get down to San Diego for the final edit on our documentary about surfing glaciers. Coming soon to a theater near you!! First we have to have it ready by September 22 to enter it in the Sundance Film Festival.
While all of this is going on I will have my eye on the North Pacific for the first big winter swell, and the southern Pacific for the Chile tow contest. Also the first SUP tube riding contest, which will be at Puerto Escondido from September 19th - 22nd. Only 16 surfers from the world are invited, and I am very honored to be one of them.
Oh yeah, the Brazil contest is on hold as well. It is being held in Sam Paulo at Marisia’s, a fun beach break. The so called Brazilian Puerto?

Alaska is incredible. So big, so green, the air is so clean!!! The great unknown. Kealii and I went up to find out where we might find the 120 foot wave. We put a couple Sea Doos there, secure boats, planes helicopters and test the waters. We succeeded mightily and will be back there this winter. Stay tuned to find out if we succeeded.
Aloha
Garrett and Kealii

Garrett flew down to Tahiti to catch the south swell at Teahupoo on November 1,2007.
According to Tim Mckenna, who got some great shots: “11h30: Garrett McNamara was dropped off super deep on a bomb, so deep that he was swallowed by the foam ball while watching Raimana riding the same wave and making it to safety a few metres ahead of him. ”

Garrett’s Next Mission: Glacier Surfing ?!?!!
Posted by garrettMay 30th, 2007 under Big Wave NewsNo Comments
Garrett and Keali’i are planning on surfing the tsunami-like waves generated by huge chunks of glacier that break off and hit the water.
This phenomenon was discovered by a photgrapher in 1995 when he was filming for IMAX. He was an avid surfer himself, and noticed the waves. He said the wave looked amazingly rideable and would peel for lengths of 200 yards at a time, but it looked treachurous, 20-30 foot waves breaking on a ice shelf only 18 inches deep. Deepwater films is returning to find that wave this summer, and this time they are bringing along extreme surfers Garrett and Keali’i.
We will be updating Glacier Surfing .com as events unfold, Garrett and crew are currently waiting for the right conditions.

Dan Russo gives his account of getting this photo of Garrett’s paddle in wave at Outer Log Cabins. This wave may have won Garrett the XXL paddle award if it was in focus. Good thing his wave at Mavericks did the trick!
