I never go to the North Shore in the afternoon unless I know there will be a 99% chance of scoring! We pull up, the winds are onshore. As we paddle out, the winds switch offshore and becomes a surfers dream. I travel around the world and pay thousands of dollars for sessions like this. This one took 1 hour in the car and 15 dollars of gas. The only 2 other surfers out with us were also smiling the whole time. 
A monk seal on the beach and lots of turtles in the water. Crystal clear visibility and the most perfect waves you could ever ask for. 
I was paddling into a 5′ set and didn’t yell “go” to my student because I thought that wave was way too big for her. As I stood up, I looked in front and she was already riding it. Haha. Just the white wash alone is overhead so imagine how big this take off was. I was so proud of her!
