We got to the Bowls parking lot early this morning and when I saw the direction of the swell, I thought somewhere else might be better.  So we jumped back into the car and on the boat and went searching.

We pulled up to a secret spot and saw perfect empty waves.  So many waves and nobody around.  Nakahodo-san couldn’t wait.  

He jumped in and paddled his fastest to the peak.  He had the whole ocean all to himself.

Then the girls paddled out and we all had 3 hours of fun.  The waves kept on coming and coming and we just kept on riding and riding.  

Nakahodo-san was super happy.  Coming to Hawaii yesterday and scoring these kind of waves is what surfers dream of.

We passed by Bowls on the way back and the waves looked fun.  

I took this photo on the way in and when I looked at it good, it looks like Trinko!  

Came in, washed the boat, then went for a roast duck/char siu/ginger chicken plate lunch.  One of the best mornings in a long time.  I was talking to Toda-san about not needing to go on expensive boat trips anymore.  Why?  Because we have this!

Yesterday once more:  An epic afternoon!

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

Round 1:  Afternoon.  I took a break this morning because I had 2 rounds of surf this afternoon planned.  And OMG, the waves were coming up!!!  Way bigger than yesterday and way less people.

Nakahodo-san back in town.  Perfect timing because this afternoon was the biggest it’s been in a while.  Good practice for Waimea Bay this winter!  Haha.

Round 2:  Evening.  Lots of turtles and lots of happy first time surfers.

Ishikawa-san is very talented.  For someone who surfed for the very first time, he did great.

I just love this angle.  Surfing along with a smile.

Ryo-san was next.  Very energetic and a very positive first time surfer.

Being able to stand up on your very first surf session is the goal.  So happy to see it happen.

Saki-san with the happiest smile in the ocean.

Pretty stoked to see her ride this wave almost all the way to shore.

Good smile and good surfing!

Another day getting sunburnt on this hot Hawaiian day!  More swell ahead and the summer continues…
