Wailua Sugar Mill: Vintage Store

204

 hope you’re all prepared because hurricane season is here!  this is the first one and i think many more will come.  the water is just way to warm which is very inviting for hurricanes.   saw a girl break her Costco surfboard.  then i heard her at the shower talking to her friend saying that she was going to return it.  omg!   we were just driving around Wailua and seen a cute little new shop.  so we stopped by to check it out.   so cozy and so cool! come to find out, it’s Etsuko-san’s shop!!!  super cool wife of North Shore shaper John Carper.  she told me that John is hooked into foiling so when the waves are good, he’s never around.  haha.  just like us…

Back in the Day Hawaii@Old Wailua Sugar Mill, JC Building i can’t believe how good it’s been so far this Summer.  totally empty spots with the most perfect waves!  can you believe there were only 5 guys out this epic day?   been foiling a lot so is that why not too many surfers around us?  it seems to scare people away but nobody around me is complaining.   Nao-san sure ain’t complaining because she’s surfing the best waves all to herself.  Toda-san flew his drown over me and caught me speeding.  good thing i didn’t get a ticket!  haha…
