The Waikiki Slash

121

When I woke up this morning, I didn’t expect this!  The girls and I jumped on Mayuki to see if the secret spot we surfed yesterday had leftovers.  And it was not only leftovers, it was the best day all week!  Perfect waves, perfect conditions, and nobody out all morning.  Just us…

Had my camera and was ready to get the shots from the foil.  

It’s pretty cool how this girl got good so fast.  Her knowledge for the ocean is much better, and her surfing is much much better. 

Takami-san was ripping today.  She was doing this cool slash all morning long. 

Here’s the start of the slash.  

And the end of the slash after releasing the fins.  Lots of spray and full control.  This is the best I’ve seen her surf in years.  So stoked!

This girl got good too.  Pretty amazed on her power and style.  

These were the happiest 3 girls in the world today. 

While the girls were smiling and giggling in the back, I was already thinking about my sauna and nap.  It’s been such a wild week and now that the winds will back down, things will get back to normal.  But we don’t like normal anymore.  Haha.
