More photos from yesterday.  Longboard with style.

Focused and confident.

Looking forward and making it.

The epic sunrise backdrop.

Afternoon king high tide fun.

Second turn of four.

Clear water and blue sky.

Yesterday once more:  The perfect swell ridden by Kotaki-san!

Good morning 3am.
Ala Moana chest high sets and good.
Diamond Head shoulder high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 20mph.
Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

Round 1:  It’s so cool to see the girls pushing each other to higher levels of surfing.  Each session I can see improvements and much better technique.  Ogasawara-san charging a set on the 6’4.

Keeping calm and enjoying the ride.

Kotaki-san surfs really smooth and is always in control.  Lots of flow and completing the long rides.

If I trust you, I will position myself in your path just to get these kind of photos.  If I don’t trust you, I won’t.  So the goal is to keep calm and you will get a photo like this someday.

Mighty Mouse has put in so many hours in the ocean.  Practicing hard each day and learning so much.  Her wave knowledge has gotten pretty high.

A different board each day ridden how it wants to be ridden.

Round 2:  This afternoon was amazing.  A super high tide so very easy to surf.  It seemed like the waves got a lot bigger than this morning.

Smooth style aiming straight towards the Rainbow Tower.

When I checked my thermometer at home before I left to surf, it read 97F.  That’s 36C.  OMG,  if you don’t have good protection, you will burn.  Mighty Mouse was fully covered.

Head high sets and some even bigger.

I had a blast on my twin fin.  It’s crazy how much I love surfing again!

Hurricane Lala left a lot of damage all over the islands.  Please be careful because I actually saw a lady sitting under this bus stop.  If that falls, she’s dead.
