Seal and Jelly

68

15 box jellyfish on the beach means there are hundreds in the ocean.  Maybe that’s why nobody was out today?  These girls are fearless as they walked over the jellyfish on the beach and paddled out early this morning.

I was watching from the rocks and noticed something.

This monk seal was either hunting for food, or for a lover.  

I forgot my camera yesterday so had to make up for it today.  I rode behind as I kept silent so she can focus on the wave, and I can focus on the photo.  

Super nice both turn that sprayed me in the face.

The waves were really good this morning.  The best conditions in weeks.  The ocean was so smooth that it felt like Indonesia.  

Lucky surfer girl that has 2 personal photographers following her every move.  

Allen must not be scared of box jellyfish huh?  

Round 2 was Diamond Head and the waves were super good!  A south swell is heading our way so everybody is on standby.  Can’t wait!
