Lonely Pua’ena Point

178

i went to the North shore and got there before the sun came up.  i wanted to shortboard but it was too small.  i was driving around Haleiwa and passed by Pua’ena Point.  nobody was out so i was waiting for anything to break.

right when i saw this wave break, i ran back to my truck and grabbed my foil.  i ended up catching 4 waves and pumped all around so it turned out to be 10 waves.  a monk seal swam right up to me so today turned out to be a wonderful morning.

when i came in, the parking lot started to get crowded.  i saw 4 foilers and 10 long boarders getting ready to paddle out.  perfect timing!

Seth texted me this morning and said the contest is probably on.  so i rushed to Haleiwa at 8am because he’s in the first heat of the day.  omg, it was flat!!!

they need 3 more days to run the event and the good news is we’re getting a big swell this weekend.  but the bad news is the winds and swell direction won’t be good.  but this is Hawaii and anything can change.  i already know where i’m going to surf this weekend, and it’s not going to be on the North shore…
