We started super early this morning.  So early that as we were checking the waves in the dark, we could also see the bright stars.  

With the light winds and North/East swell, we headed to the East side again.  Really fun waves!  Just the girls out having intense Boot Camp.  

This winter has been the best in years for the East side of Oahu.  Good waves and good winds.  This morning was overhead and I’m sure it will still be good tomorrow.

This 5′ barreling right and nobody out this morning.  The best in years!

Round 2 we surfed somewhere else.  Nobody out again.  It’s pretty cool to have the whole ocean to yourself.  I hope these  dream swells never end.

The Friendly Island view.

Good morning 4am.
North shore 3-5′.
Ala Moana knee high.
Diamond Head waist high.
Trad winds at 15mph.
Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

The winds changed direction slightly so we went another part of the island to surf this morning.  It works better with these winds and swell direction.

Shoulder high sets and super fun.  It was just us again enjoying this super secret spot.

Another tako for my freezer.  Can’t wait to cook it!

Water photography has been my passion since I was 12 years old.  So teaching others how to get the shot is fun. With technology these days, you can get instant results.

And it’s photos like these that describe the moment.  Mighty Mouse looking back at the boat.

The underwater world is my comfort zone.  My mind is so clear, so calm, and so happy.  When I’m down there, nothing else matters.

Was looking through photos at my Mom’s house and came across this one.  My brother Mason and I riding an old school Schwinn bike back in the early 1970’s.  Our bikes were cool, and our haircuts were even cooler.  Haha.
