I Quit Foiling?

121

if you’re a surfer in Hawaii and surfed all your life, you will agree that this Summer is the best of the best.  and if you haven’t surfed for that long, you are a very lucky surfer because we wait all of our lives for Summers like this!  i saw some empty barrels at Bowls yesterday!

i added this reel into my fishing collection.  it’s a Gold Penn 50 International.  you won’t find a classic one in mint condition like this.  it has to be over 40 years old.

an i’m hoping we catch a lot of fish on this.  i can’t wait to try it!

a lot of my foiler friends are quitting foiling and going back to surfing.  as for me, i’ll never ever quit foiling.  one reason is i suffered so much learning how to do it.  another is it humbled me so much.  another is i still learn a lot about the ocean.  and the most important is it’s one of the most peaceful things i’ve ever done in my life.   so when i feel like flying, i can simply go and fly where ever and when ever i want…

check out this classic photo i took of the kids at Kewalo’s a very long time ago.
