Round 1:  Perfect morning conditions.  Clean conditions, blue sky,  and long happy rides.  

Imai-san showing the peace sign and big smile.  This is surfing!

A beautiful morning well surfed.  

Mighty Mouse staying so calm.

Bigger board equals bigger waves.

Rocky setting up for the first floater of her life.

Perfectly executed off the lip floater.

Round 2:  Mighty Mouse scored her best session at Diamond Head.  So fun and so empty!

Yesterday once more:  Dropping swell but still perfect…

Good morning 3am.
Ala Moana waist high and good.
Diamond Head chest high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 15mph.
Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

Now that the water is finally cleaning up, some things are looking a little different.  There are new reefs, new boulders, and strange things all on the ocean floor.  That last hurricane swell did crazy things that changed the ocean landscape.  This rock is right in the lineup and I know it wasn’t there before.  

Not sure what this pole is but I’ll grab it next time I’m out.  

I’ve been surfing here for 40 years and never seen anything like this.  There are rocks and reef that got pushed into the lineup.

I can’t wait to get my mask on and take a closer look.  

Round 1:  Mighty Mouse decided to paddle out on a longer board and be on the biggest and best waves.  Mission completed.  

It was a beautiful morning again.

Rocky also on a bigger board with much better flow.

For days like today, you need the right board to have fun.

On the way home, I stopped by Foodland and got a special treat for breakfast.  Two big raw oysters!  It was delicious!  

My speargun was sitting here next to my door since June of 2026.  I’ve been waiting for the waves to go flat so I can go get some dinner.  It’s been the best summer ever so it had to wait.  Three months of solid south swells!  Now that things should be slowing down, I can imagine there will be a lot of fish swimming around!
