Round 1:  We surfed at Ala Moana Bowls.  Box jellyfish everywhere!  Rocky got stung on the way out.  Mighty Mouse got stung on the way in.  I got stung in between.  And 6 others got stung in the lineup.  It was the biggest jellyfish invasion I’ve ever experienced out there.    

Surf talk in the parking lot.  So stoked to have so many good surfer friends.   

Round 2:  Bowls was so fun!  No jellyfish and only good vibes.  Hashimoto-san surfed the past week in huge waves so today was so easy.  

I can feel everything is getting back to normal.  Yes, summer is back!  

Mighty Mouse surfs more than anyone I know.  

And keeps on going, going, and going.  

We all ride similar surfboards so I try to explain to my students where their back foot should be positioned.  Basically it should be right on the tail like this.  It allows the surfboard to work to its full potential.  

The parking lot was still closed today.  One of the guys told me that they are going to repaint the lines and it should be open on Saturday.  Yeah!  Anyway, a couple more swells heading to Hawaii and possibly another hurricane.  The best summer ever continues…

Yesterday once more:  Boat trip Hawaii!

Good morning 3am.
Ala Moana chest high and good.
Diamond Head shoulder high and bumpy.
Trade winds back today at 15mph.
Sun, showers, and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

The waves broke over the parking lot at Bowls turning it into a sandy beach.  No parking today.

Round 1:  Paddled out with the girls and we were the only ones in the whole ocean.

The day after the hurricane.  Sunny and perfect weather.

No clouds in the sky.  Overhead sets and very wild at Bowls.

Had fun with the girls.  They were pushing each other to get braver and better.

Round 2:  Boat trip.  Almost got a closeout set break on us in the channel.  U-Turn and tried again.

We made it.  Waves were overhead and so good.

Hashimoto-san and Mighty Mouse both padded back smiling.  Lots of excitement for the leftover hurricane swell.  We’ve been scoring everyday!
