i pulled up to my sisters house they rent on the north shore yesterday and i saw the kids and tony getting ready for a motorcycle mountain trail ride.
tony, isaiah, and seth on the first round. when they left, i couldn’t wait for them to come back because i wanted to ride too. it’s been about 15 years since i rode and i was ready for the challenge again.
this is the view from the deck of the house. we were on the table talking story and watching the beautiful waves. joshua had tammy’s camera and took these photos.
this is Nathen or John John Florence dropping in on a big one. these kids paddled out from the beach. i took some photos too but i forgot my camera at the house. gosh, i’m losing my mind!
i went riding with tony and seth. if we had the video camera from our ride yesterday, it would be hilarious. i flipped over the handlebars 2 times in the trails. and i almost killed myself by flipping backwards trying to make it up this steep hill. 3 times wipeout and tony said, “hey, enough already before you get hurt.” gosh, i want to go back and try again. yeah, i might get hurt but the challenge is just too tempting.
my beautiful niece kelia moniz is going back to california tomorrow. it’s hard to believe she’s world champion because she’s just a normal girl just having fun. i’m pretty sure she will win a few more world titles before she retires.
and hey, 3 giant swells are heading to hawaii. december 30th will be the first one and there is a good chance the eddie aikau contest at waimea bay might GO! stay tuned for updates.
