Surf and Off the Hook

92

When there is a huge North swell with trade winds, one spot on the North Shore will shine.  That spot is Laniakea.  It was absolutely perfect today!  Solid 4-6′ with some 8′ sets.  It’s been a while since I saw perfect waves like that!  We caught good waves, had a good time, and most importantly, didn’t get hurt.

This guy was smiling all the way home.  The biggest surf of his life, very calm, and World Champion Carissa Moore paddling past him saying “Ohayo gozaimasu!”  A day he will never forget.

Every time I look at a horse, I think about uma sashimi.   That’s not good.

Since we can’t eat horse in Hawaii, we went to eat poke instead.  Off the Hook is located in Manoa and the long line shows how popular this place is.  We were so hungry!

As a fisherman who catches his own fish, it’s hard to pay $24 for a poke bowl.  BUT, this one was really good.  Very fresh, a good variety, good toppings, and one of the best poke bowls I ever ate.  So yes, even as a fisherman, it’s well worth it!
