Some of Hawaii's top pros graciously break away from their busy schedule to take Cystic Fibrosis patients surfing at Haleiwa on the North Shore of Oahu.

With the O'Neill Cold Water Classic kicked up to a 6-Star Prime, the world's best surfers posted up in the Santa Cruz area the last couple weeks chasing some Fall gold...looks like they found it!

Fall's arrival in Santa Cruz means beautiful weather and waves. The leaves are changing colors, the Northwest swells are rolling in, and your favorite rippers are shooting with Dave "Nelly" Nelson to get the gold. Stayed tuned for tons more from our main man from the real Surf City...All photos: Dave Nelson.
