Out to lunch for the week

The sun sets at Sunset Beach in Haleiwa, Hawaii, Friday, Nov. 18, 2005. Every year around November massive and perfectly shaped surfing waves attract thousands to the north shore waters of Oahu. When the first surf contest was held on the North Shore more than three decades ago, about 50 people sat on the beach as surfers tamed dangerous waves exploding a few feet above sharp coral reef. Now, on any given day, an estimated 2,500 people line the beach during a series of three contests known as the Triple Crown of Surfing, whose participants represent 21 countries.
