can’t wait to watch the contest on Sunday, August 9th! it’s at the Ranch wave pool and Seth Moniz and Carissa Moore are teaming up! go Hawaii!the other day i paddled out to Bowls before 5am. nobody was in the ocean so it was like black paradise. you couldn’t see a thing except for the moonlight shining off the ocean surface. riding a wave in complete darkness is the best feeling in the world! and watching the moon set to the West and the sun rises from the East. it’s surreal…then yesterday morning i paddle out to Diamond Head in the dark too. birds flying high, dolphins passing by, and epic long rides. this has been my everyday ritual…Lance was in a few of my classes at the University of Hawaii. we were talking about the good old college days. Lance told me that one of our teachers knew i was surfing when i didn’t show up for class. haha. i remember going to college with surf trunks, bleached hair that was still wet, and sand still on my feet. till this day, we still don’t know how i graduated. haha…
