Early morning Hurricane storm surf.  The paddle out in the dark.

First wave by Tanaka-san into the dark storm.

Last wave by Tanaka-san.

Good surfing and great smile!

Where was everybody?  Hurricane Hone continues…

Yesterday once more:  Tropical Storm Hone swell!

Good morning 3:10am.
Ala Moana waist high and windy.
Diamond Head shoulder high and windier.
Trade winds up to 35mph.
Rain, clouds, and tropical storm weather.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

Round 1 at Bowls.  Surf forecast was for smaller, but it was bigger.  Lucky girls!  

Some really long lefts all the way to the channel.  

Sunny, warm, and so good.

The two happiest surfer girls in the world.

Dana on a couple good ones.

Malcom on too many good ones.  Smiling all the way again!  

Round 2 at Diamond Head.  Head high and very challenging conditions.  Strong wind and stronger current.

She paddled out, caught the 2 biggest waves, and paddled in with a smile.  That took 20 minutes and she came back to the car very happy.

I’m proud of this girl because this is very hard to do.  And she did it great!
