yes, another beautiful Summer day in Hawaii!  blue sky, warm water, and tropical weather.

and perfect conditions.  paddling into a wave like this with the sun rising is a great feeling!

Bowls was small and crowded as usual.  but if you had the right board, you will have the great time.  no complaints here…

thankfully, a few nice sets rolled through and we were in the right place at the right time.  score!

“just when i thought surfing was good, it just got better!”  that was today’s quote from this very happy surfer girl!

Uncles Rule!

Good morning 3:30am.
Ala Moana waist high and good.
Diamond Head chest high and good.
Light trade winds at 15mph.
Sunny and hot day.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

the waves finally came down and are perfect for longboarding so that’s what we did.  Nanami-san at first light.

now it’s small enough where i can see from behind the wave.  and i’m checking everything so my students better be doing it right!  you can’t hide anymore.  haha.  

another epic morning session.

then we went out for Round 2 this afternoon in the hot sun.  the fish were out enjoying the peaceful afternoon.  this is so beautiful!  

thank goodness Dove Wetsuits makes a 1mm hooded top because if it wasn’t for this, i would be completely sunburnt!  i can surf forever in this!

small waves this week so get out the longboards!
