Daniel Jones in Alaska

So what does a Hawaiian born North Shore local do as summer hits Hawaii? Head to Alaska of course. Michael Kew phoned Daniel and he was in for the trip. Scott Dickerson of Surf Alaska provided the boat and logistics to score the best waves. Kew said, “Water temp was 37, didn’t see another human for the 10 days we were aboard the boat, waves were pretty small but fun and clean, and emtpy. Being a Hawaiian, DJ seemed to have zero problem adjusting to the frigid water temps, but it’s obvious that his Matuse gear played the major part in that.” Look for a future article from their trip.
