Round 1 Monday:  OMG, Ala Moana Bowls was so good this morning!  Perfect size, perfect swell direction, and perfect conditions.  I think it was the best day of 2025 so far.  

Kyle with style!  

There was a pro longboard contest today so not too many surfers early this morning.  Lucky!

About once a week I see hikers getting rescued off the mountain behind my house.  It’s very dangerous but people go anyway.  It’s costing the rescue team time, money, and effort.  And how pays for that?  Us.

I went looking for opihi.  Did you know that most ocean related deaths in Hawaii are from people picking opihi?  Big waves and slippery rocks is where the opihi live.  Please be careful.

Blue Hawaii…

Good morning 3:15am.
Ala Moana shoulder high and good.
Diamond Head head high and good.
Light South/East winds at 10mph.
Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

So happy to surf with Ikezawa-san this morning.  The weather and waves were as good as it gets.  It was paradise!  Ikezaki-san has only been surfing for 1 year so I wanted to make sure he caught the best waves of his life!

Super athletic, super energetic, and super stoked!  We had so much fun in the sun.  Long rides and probably the best rides of his life!

Summer is here so expect many days like this ahead.

Then I came home and watched the chaos in Los Angelas.  I couldn’t believe this is happening in America right now.

There is absolutely no excuse for vandalism and destruction of police cars.  We as Americans pay for this!  It was so sad watching this that I had to stop.  Jumped in the sauna, looked out my window at the blue sky, and returned to paradise…
