Round 1:  Kodama-san riding the best waves of his life!  Perfect morning conditions and very few surfers out.

A perfect wave in an empty lineup.

Mighty Mouse on the 5’9 swallow tail.  Looking smooth.

Surfing very calm with good flow.

The muscle memory bottom turn.

We couldn’t believe how perfect the waves and weather were.

Another empty face to carve on.

Kodama-san paddled back out and said “awesome!  unbelievable!”

Yes, it was an “Awesome and Unbelievable” morning.  Two more South swells on the way to Hawaii!

Morning Joe at Rockpiles.

Another beautiful sunrise session.

Good morning 3am.
Ala Moana chest high sets and good.
Diamond Head shoulder high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 20mph.
Sunny and warm after a rainy morning.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

Round 1:  Kotaki-san enjoying the last rides of this amazing surf trip.  Over 100 waves ridden in the past 4 days.

Ride 101.

Ogasawara-san on her best performance this morning.  

Riding her best and biggest wave of her life.  Enjoying the ride.  Now it’s back to Japan and straight into Typhoon 18 swells!  Go girls!  

Thank you Alan for the photos.  Nice to pass by you!

Bend your knees, arm up, look forward, and enjoy the ride…
