It was such a beautiful day!  Clear sky, off shore winds, and long rides.

Imai-san just started surfing a year ago and he’s looking really good!   Great balance and a strong paddler.

The conditions were perfect.  The waves were flat yesterday so today was much bigger.

Imai-san fine tuning his surfing.  He was getting better and better each wave.  So nice to see.

I wanted one of these tool kits for the past 20 years but didn’t want to spend too much money on it.  But after all the DIY projects I’ve been doing, it was time to make life easier.

All I need is this to fix my boat, and all I need is this to build a house.  Haha.

We’ve been spending the afternoons in the yard.  Mateus and Theo came over to help pull the weeds.  Everything is looking so green!

Then I smell something very sweet.  One of my nephews is smoking meat again.  It’s the best!

Happy times in happy Hawaii!

Good morning 4:30am.
North shore 4-6′ and bumpy.
Ala Moana knee high and clean.
Diamond Head chest high and bumpy.
Strong trade winds at 25mph.
Sun, clouds, showers, and rainbows.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

Mid-day sunny session with the girls!  Stay calm and focused Mauna-chan.  You can do it!  Now PADDLE!!!

Nice pop up!  And nice long ride.

So good to surf with you again Ikuko-san.  Happy to see your great surfing and happy smile!  

An 8 year old will never forget a moment like this forever.  This is surfing…
