good evening. what a nice day today. surfed 2 rounds and i don’t remember the last time i’ve been this sunburned. my skin can’t get any darker and my friends can’t see me in the dark anymore. i have to wear bright clothes or i will get hit by a car. the weather has been perfect. super sunny, super cool tradewinds, and passing showers to make the brightest rainbows. being outdoor all day long, i get to see so much paradise.
i heard they had a 17 mile or 28 kilometer paddle race from makapuu to waikiki today. i’m so jealous!!! yes, i would have loved to enter it but i’m just to busy. then after thinking about it, i’d rather give myself a bigger challenge. so today, i decided that within this year, i will paddle from makapuu to waikiki alone. no friends, no escort boat, or no nothing. i have no idea how long it will take but i’m going for it. then if i complete that safely, i will paddle the molokai channel. i think from molokai to oahu is 38 miles or 61 kilometers. maybe go dive molokai in the day, sleep over on the boat, then paddle back the next morning. for that one, yes, i need an escort boat. one miscalculation in the current, and i’m lost at sea. so right there, it took me a couple of days to figure out another challenge for myself. if you haven’t done anything crazy, you should challenge yourself too. but for right now, i’m going to rub aloe into my burnt skin, put cucumbers on my eyes, and fall asleep because i’ll be surfing 2 long rounds everyday for the next 17 days. see you in the water!
