Boys Enjoying the Ride

The boys were so good.  Ready to surf again!  

A real surfer should carry their own surfboard.  

16 year old Yoshi started catching waves on his own.  

Then 11 year old Tsune followed his older brother and caught waves on his own too.

Focused.

Committed.

Then it got easy.

Long ride and happy face.

Perfect balance and style.

And the perfect smile.

Brothers sharing the same wave.

Thank you boys for enjoying the ride!

May 7, 2026 Hawaii Surf Report

Yesterday morning:  Ala Moana Bowls.

Yesterday afternoon:  Diamond Head Cliffs.

Good morning 3:10am.
Ala Moana chest high and good.
Diamond Head shoulder high and good.
Light winds so clean conditions.
Sun, clouds, and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

Three Rounder

Round 1:  Chest high sets, no wind, amazing clouds, and clean conditions.  Mighty Mouse getting ready for the take off.

This girl amazes me.  She started off on a 11’0 longboard and worked her way down to a 5’9 high performance shortboard.  Enjoying each ride along the way.

It takes a lot of wave knowledge to position yourself on such a small board on a wave.  It’s only getting better and better.

Teraoka-san came to Hawaii for 2 days of surfing.  After todays session, he jumped back on an airplane back to Japan.  That’s a true surfer!

Surfing early in the morning and flying back to Japan is the best feeling.  Once you get your seat, you take a deep breath and feel so content.

Round 2:  These 2 boys are amazing.  Super cool and calm.  We had so much fun surfing together.  More photos coming soon.

Round 3:  I’ve never met a more energetic surfer girl in my whole life.  She could probably go 5 rounds a day.  We ended up at my secret spot and had the ocean all to ourselves.  Super good conditions.

I went to test out Mayuki last week and she was running smooth.  As I approached Diamond Head, something came to greet us.

A big pod of dolphins!  I stopped the boat and watched the dolphins jumping all around.  It felt good to be flying in the ocean again.
