Warm and Happy Winter

A beautiful Tuesday morning at Ala Moana.  Nice wintery sunrise, cool trade winds, and good waves.

At one point, there were only us 6 surfers out at Bowls.  All in warm Dove wetsuits which felt surreal.  Surfers travel around the world to search for private sessions like this.  That was a real cool moment.

Tokura-san is surfing better and better.  He’s always the oldest surfer in the water, and always the happiest surfer in the water.  

Deco-san knows how to have fun.  Smiling on every wave from start to finish.  

Takami-san caught some really good waves today too.  Very long rides.

Rocky’s been riding a totally different surfboard everyday, which is hard to do.  But on her first wave of each session, she knows how to connect.  

Connect with your board, the ocean, and your emotions.  Then everything will look as smooth as this.  This is what you call perfect form.

This has become my favorite wetsuit.  A all 2mm long sleeve front zip.  The perfect wetsuit for this cool wintery weather.  

I was super proud to be part of the Dove Team this morning.  Tokura-san, Deco-san, Carter, Takami-san, and Rocky.  We were all so warm and all so happy!

Keep warm, keep Dove…
