Rounds of Rides and Practice

Round 1 at Bowls.  Bigger waves than yesterday and perfect for the boys and girls.  Nakagami-san having fun on the longboard.

My first time surfing with Yusuke-san and was impressed with his style.

Smooth rides and very calm.

Nakagami-san surfed a longboard and then his shortboard this morning.  Both looked very easy on these beautiful waves.

Round 2 @ Diamond Head.  Lots of waves and great practice.

Winter Greatness

This morning felt like winter!  It was dark, cold, and small.  I paddled out with my 1mm but I was still freezing cold.  

So cool to see the rain pass by and hoping for a rainbow.

The sun came out for a minute and it felt so good.  Then it got cloudy and cold again.  

Rain and sun equals a rainbow.  Well, a dark rainbow.

The girls paddled out and caught everything again.  I took video of all their waves which totaled 51 clips.  Yes, they caught every wave that broke.

They practiced hunting for waves, they practiced walking the board, and they practiced calmness.  It was so cool to see.

Then I went to visit my Grand-nephew Honouliwai.  This kid can surf, he can skate, he can ride the bike, and he can do so many things normal 3 year old kids can’t.  He was showing me his surfboard his Mommy gave to him.  This kid is heading for GREATNESS!
