See you at Sunrise

Waves were super clean this morning at Diamond Head.  The best spot in town today so it was pretty crowded.  But lots of waves for everyone.

The girls paddled out before me and caught some on their own.  They are learning the spot very well day by day.

Late takeoffs on the sets.

Good stylish cutbacks.

Calm and surfing with flow.

And adding power when needed.

The girls went back out this afternoon and surfed for even longer.  The waves were super fun and the girls didn’t come in for hours.  I was going to leave them there and pick them up tomorrow morning.  Haha.

Light winds tomorrow so everywhere should be really good!  See you at sunrise…

Epic!

Surf Leash Review

Good to see surfers volunteering their time to keep Diamond Head clean.  They go there every weekend to groom the mountain.  I respect these guys a lot.

But some disrespectful person decided to throw away a bag full of rubbish there.  I heard the guys saying “lucky we didn’t catch him.”  That basically means that if they caught the guy who threw this rubbish there, they would probably push him off the cliff.  So would I.

I usually don’t do product reviews but thought this one was important.  I bought 3 Dakine John John comp leashes recently.  I tried all 3 of them and all 3 of them get tangled around my leg.  As a surfer, that’s a terrible feeling of popping up and your leash is tangled around you leg.  It’s a distraction, and now this is going to be thrown away.  My advice to my students has always been “if your leash gets tangled, get rid of it.”
