January was epic for the East Side!

Good morning 4am.
North shore 8-10′.
Ala Moana waist to chest high.
Diamond Head shoulder high.
North/West winds at 10mph.
Sunny and cool.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

West winds and North/East swell means good surf for the East shores.  That’s where we went early this morning.  I was surprised on how good it was!

Perfect waves for Boot Camp.  Timing the take off is very important.

The bottom turn is also important.  This is the perfect place to do a bottom turn.

Riding the inside and keeping low.  This morning was the perfect day for high performance surfing.  Secret spot and only 1 other surfer out.  Mighty Mouse scored!

Big trees falling down all over the island yesterday and today.  West winds are scary!!!

I still have a lot of photos from Taiwan I forgot to post.  Things have been moving so fast since I got back so I hope to get back to it soon.  

This is one situation no surfer wants to be in.  To prevent this, all you have to do is look forward.  

I’ve been waiting for a long time for the winds, weather, and waves to cooperate.  No wind, sunny, and flat are the dream days.  The dream of going to the outer islands to relax has been on my mind everyday for the past year.  Hope it all happens soon.

I’ve seen this spot turn into a tourist trap.  Why would you want to snorkel with a hundred other tourists when there are so many other beautiful spots to snorkel at?  

After years and years, they are still doing construction on the pedestrian bridge over Ala Moana Boulevard.  Why is it taking so long???

The longer it takes, the more money it will cost, and the more traffic will be.
