Just came back from a windsurf trip to Oahu... was great to sail somewhere I had seen in pictures & videos going back to the beginning of wavesailing! 
Awesome vid
Never seen Diamond Head from the air,didn't know it has so many sections. Beautiful
Curious- was 6:11 a "get off my wave buddy..... 
" or accident
haha
Cheers Mark!
Everyone knows everyone at DH, it's a friendly vibe out there so no surf rage at 6:11 
Absolutely beautiful footage Paul. Great Vid , Awesome that you got to sail DH .

Cheers Gesper....yeah I was stoked to sail Diamond Head.... I feel like I ticked a major bucket list item right there!
Very nice vid.
What was the accommodation you stayed at and how far was it to the sailing spots?
Looks like a super fun spot. Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
Having said that might not be that pretty there ATM with hurricane Lane bearing down on the islands. I wonder what Jaws will be like?
What is the second spot called? I've surfed Lighthouse a few times and it gets shallow.

Hey Long Reef,
That spot is called 'Toes'. Usually very light wind but it's cross off.
I thought it was Toes- that was really light!. I think all Wavesailors should pay homage to the original spot
awesome video!
PS
What board is that - on the Naish sail - looks pretty quick / turns radically??

Pretty sure it was a JP but I couldn't tell you which year/model.
Great vid of Toes, funny, the first shot of the beach looks like somebody derigging after breaking his mast, easy to do in shallow water with a reefy bottom, even in light wind. Also a good shot of duck diving your rig under the white water.

After talking to a friend who has sailed there (unlike myself), he said the name of the place is "Tongs" not "Toes".

There is a surf spot called 'Tongs' near Diamond Head... the spot in the video is actually 'Toes' a different place altogether.

Thanks for this great video. The videos below confirms this is called Toes. I also posted a 1983 video of Diamond Head on a different thread.
Cheers for the info RichardG!Select to expand quotenorthy1 said..

I just double checked my footage Northy1 and it's actually a Naish board!
