i really needed this trip.  i needed it for my mind, body, and soul.  and most importantly, for my surfing.  i got motivated to surf again so i wanted to fine tune my equipment, and my style.  Mike Woo’s been shaping for Kelly Slater so i grabbed one of his boards from his house.  it’s only a 5’6 with 26 liters so i was hesitant at first.  then when i caught my first wave, i couldn’t believe how good that board worked.  super easy to paddle, very fast, and lots of flow.  this one might be coming back to Hawaii with me.  haha…
i never thought that twin fins were this fun. it changed my whole perspective on life. i wake up here at 4am, exercise, and patiently wait for the sun to come up so i can surf. it’s so exciting!!!
