Round 1: We paddled out super early this morning. It was still dark so you can’t even see Nakahodo-san and Kamobayashi-san in this photo, but they are there.
Three days of intense Boot Camp and Kamobayashi-san is going home a stronger man. And a surfer!
The waves were very challenging today but when you have the proper technique, surfing is pretty simple. So stoked!
Round 2: I saw Nakahodo-san ride so many fun waves at Bowls this morning. It was just him and Rocky out so they were taking turns on the sets. I was watching from the inside and was very proud of them. Not too many people can surf onshore waves like that but they were ripping it. This afternoon, we decided to surf a smaller and cleaner wave. Look how beautiful it was! So much easier after all the crazy surf we’ve been surfing lately. Can you believe I surfed 14 rounds this year? Yes, I surfed 14 rounds at 8 different surf spots in the first 8 days of January. That’s crazy!!! I guess you can call this a great year so far!
I watched Laleo Kinimaka foil some nice swells and it made me want to foil again. Hopefully very soon!
On the way back home, we saw the boys washing off the boat so we pulled over at the harbor. They opened the cooler and there were 2 big marlins in it. OMG!
Then the other cooler had 2 big akus. Yeah Benji! I’m so proud of you boys!
