Have a wonderful day!

It’s been really shallow for the past 2 weeks.  I’ve hit the reef 4x and still have lots of sea urchin stuck deep in my foot for a week already.

Back to yesterday’s 4.5 hour morning session.  Ninomiya-san had the session of his life.

He caught 3 really good sets and did 4 turns on each wave.  He paddled back out with the biggest smile on his face each time.

On my first wave at 5:50am, I fell and lost my hat.  I was looking for it all morning.  Scanning the ocean but just couldn’t find it.  I finally gave up.  Then 4 hours later, I see a surfer at Rock Piles with a bright white hat.  Could it be?  I paddle over to him and as I got closer, I recognized my hat!  OMG, I ask him, “where did you find that hat?”  He said “I found it in the channel by Magic Island.”

He kindly gave it back to me and I was so happy because I really needed it.  So grateful!

Then it was back for Round 2.  Ogasawara-san taking off on her first ride.

Surfing under the rainbow.  Life is good for this girl…

Anyway, after 6.5 hours in the ocean, I was totally sunburnt.  Took a cold shower and went to sleep.
