Yesterday once more:  Hawaii winter wonderland…

Good morning 4:30am.
North shore chest high from the east.
Ala Moana knee to waist high from the east.
Diamond Head shoulder high from the east.
East side overhead.
Strong east winds at 25mph.
Sun, clouds, and showers.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

Kinoshita-san is a surfer but hasn’t surfed in 15 years.  From his first wave, it seemed like he didn’t forget a thing.  Perfect style and smiling the whole way!

After a 15 year break, it must feel pretty dam good to surf again.  

There were turtles swimming around everywhere.

Isobe-san has been surfing for a long time.  Really good balance and really strong at paddling.  

Long rides as these guys surfed Hawaii for the very first time.  Isobe-san surfing both longboard and mid-length.  Super cool style.

Look how clean the water is.  And look how happy Kinoshita-san is.  This is what you call “stoked.”

The top 200 hairdressers from Japan are in Hawaii for a conference right now.  These are 2 of them which makes them cool.  And because they are surfers, it makes them even cooler.  Keep on surfing boys!

Round 1: Super fun waves at Bowls. Isobe-san ripping!
