Bruddah Mels 2025 surfing championship

Live stream Hawaii not covering this one so I'm gonna cover it from the shore posting as waves come in.

Bruddah Mels is all kine surfing, paddle board wave storm, body surfing, long board paddle board, supsquatch,

I missed day one and live stream Hawaii not covering this one. So I'ma gonna post heats and waves here as they come in.

Right now we I. The wave storm challenge, which is basically how good can you surf the 99dollar foamie from Costco. We just ended five man supsquatch, which is a five person inflatable paddle board

Bruddah Mels is one of the longest running west side tournament in Hawaii, from the heart of traditional Hawaiian surfing Makaha Hawaii. Here surf all kind boards and waves

First out at sunrise, glassy shoulder high sets, got bigger towards the end of session when I took that picture.

Beach break with several peaks, this one is the second biggest of the beach. I started there but ended my session on a smaller peak (re-shoulder high) 500m away.

Waves we're closing a bit, they were slower the day before.

Today rode down the line in shoulder high waves.

I can trim and feel at ease in hip high, working to carving. Also consistent take off & dtl surf in waist high.

Maybe one day I'll leave beginner stage. (But I'll always be a kook, just because I can).

Just thought I'd share and maybe get this community running.

I'm heading to Portugal for a week and doing two sessions a day for five days in August. I go the gym three times a week, anything in particular I should focus on so I'm not fucked after day 1?
