      The power of sheer power. A Waimea Bay shorebreak wave such as this one can easily buckle or snap a surfboard or person into equal parts of its original whole. Photo: Jason Childs

      On a tamer note, Windmills on Maui can turn ocean power into a thing of beauty. Nice positioning beneath a mirror-glass curtain. Photo: Erik Aeder

      It's a "Standing Room Only" kind of day at the legendary Waimea Bay. Photo: Jeff Divine

      Waimea's outside power retires inside in a frenzy of whitewater. Photo: Jason Childs

      At its glistening apex, just before it breaks, an ocean wave is a form of poetry in non-motion, a natural force exquisitely frozen in time. This one rose at Sunset Beach. Photo: Bernie Baker

      Tow-master Rush Randle jet-skis away from center stage as surfers Dave Kalama (left) and Laird Hamilton (right) drop into Peahi, the Maui surf spot known as Jaws. Photo: Erik Aeder

      Ross Williams blurs all distinctions while performing in a now-you-see-me, now-you-don't, magical, el mysto in-and-out surf act at Back Door on the North Shore. Photo: Bernie Baker
