Round 1:  Sunrise session at Ala Moana Bowls.  Another day of fun wind swell.

Calm conditions, warm weather, and warm water.  Just like summer!

Hashimoto-san with the wave of the day!  Great hunting.

Nice form.

The calm bottom turn.

The perfect ride.  Hashimoto-san said today was a day of enlightenment!  I agree…

Yesterday once more:  A nice small wind swell is here!

Good morning 4:45am.
North shore 8-10′.
Ala Moana knee high.
Diamond Head waist high.
Trade winds up to 20mph.
Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

We are in the winter months and the weather can change in a minute.  Sunny sky on the left and a dark storm on the right.  I love watching nature transform like this.

We lucked out today.  There was a small wind swell so the waves were fun and a lot more power than the recent days.  Hashimoto-san was loving it!

Everyday we’re learning something new.  That’s what surfing is all about.

Better timing and a lot calmer.  Great surfing today!

My friend Dane passed by on his foil.  He attached a “Foil Drive” which is an electric motor to his foil.  He was flying around everywhere even without a wave.  It looked fun and I was always curious about it.   He let me try it and after I fell and almost landed on the dangerous propeller, I had enough.  Now I’m not curious anymore.  And now I just saved myself $6000.  Thank you Dane for letting me try your toy and saving me big money!
