CONTESTS
Da Hui waiting period open til 1/16 at Pipeline
Every year the Da Hui Backdoor Shootout seems to be blessed with some of the best conditions of the Hawaii winter season. This year’s event kicked off with a growing northwest swell and ideal southeast winds for the first three rounds of competition.
After completing the longboard, SUP, and bodysurf rounds, the shortboard competition took place in some of the best moments of the swell. Some of the world’s best surfers competed jersey-free in everyone’s favorite local surf contest of the year. Unfortunately, at the moment, the forecast for the rest of the waiting period is looking grim.

Speaking of moons….. did you know that Our solar system has 205 moons
the planet with the most moons is Saturn with 82 moons
Jupiter has 79 moons
Uranus has 27 moons
neptune has 14 moons
Mars has 2 moons
Earth only has on moon
But Venus and Mercury are moonless… the two planets closest to the sun do not have moons.
Controversially the planet Pluto is not necessarily considered a planet in our solar system, So if we include Pluto as a planet in our solar system, we would have a total of 210 moons in our solar system (it is designated as a dwarf planet) but it does have five moons. So if we include Pluto as a planet in our solar system, we would have a total of 210 moons in our solar system
