Missed the Silence…

238

i was sitting in the dark this morning checking Diamond Head. the waves looked better than i thought, so i thought i’d go to a spot that should be much much better.  it takes over an hour to get to the spot, but i knew it would be worth it.

so i pull up and the conditions couldn’t have been any better.  it’s a very far paddle out but i’m paddling full speed so it’s not too bad.  i was super excited because it’s been a while since i’ve been here.

i turn and take off on my first wave, then pump into 4 waves back to back.  i seriously could have gone in feeling totally content.  but it was so good that i ended up staying out for a couple of hours.

i felt like i was on a surf trip.  the waves were absolutely perfect!

then i came back to town and took a look at Diamond Head again.  it was super good!  i grabbed my board and ran down the hill.  when i paddled out, one of my friends told me “where were you this morning?  you missed out!!!”  i looked at him and smiled.  silence is golden…
