The empty barrel shot.  Toda-san and Takami-san paddling over watching this perfect wave.  

This looks like a surf trip photo.  Wish you were here.

Yesterday PM:  Beautiful Diamond Head view.

Yesterday AM:  Beautiful Bowls Right view.

Good morning 3:15am.
Ala Moana crest high 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:  Early morning Bowls.  Chest high and so good!  Hashimoto-san finally got some real swell!  

This is as perfect as you will see the ocean.  So glassy!

Bowls lefts was so good!  The boys were ripping.

Hashimoto-san caught a nice set at Bowls and rode it all the way.

Nice cutback along the way!

Round 2:  We wanted to surf more so we surfed more.  The afternoon was even better than the morning.  

Very warm, clean water, and nice flow.

This girl was out there ripping.

Went over to the house I grew up in Hawaii Kai to search for avocados.  Our family grew up eating these creamy avocados for decades.

All I took was enough for this week.  There is plenty more where that came from.

The first time I ate taco rice was in Okinawa around 30 years ago.  Ever since, that’s been one of my favorites.  Top it off with home grown avocados and you got yourself the best taco rice in Hawaii.
