Dawn Patrol Waikiki…

266


good evening. i was talking to my 2 nieces yesterday and they were telling me how fun waikiki was. they were going this morning too so i wanted to surf with them. kelia said she’s going at 5:30 am. i told her i’d meet her out around 6. i called her at 6 just in case and guess what? she just woke up. eeh??? yeah, if i didn’t call her, i would have been surfing waikiki by myself. haha… anyway, we meet down there at 6:30 am and guess what? the waves were flat and it was super cloudy. they both were saying all morning how i should have been there yesterday. gosh, i hear that all the time….
the waves were hardly breaking but i had a blast surfing with my 2 nieces. they are still babies to me. i just can’t admit that they are young adults that like boys… uuuhh…

for those of you who don’t know kelia, she’s a clown. always smiling and always having fun. she has big plans this summer including the roxy jam pro contest in france, the nssa nationals in california, and possibly the roxy challenge in japan. japan? yes, things are moving forward and it’s looking promising. i’ll keep you posted. anyway, you know what really made me happy this morning? kelia told me that she wants to win the Roxy Jam in France. she’s been practicing long boarding all week and will until she leaves for france. the past years, she’s only been practicing a couple of times before the contest and wasn’t taking it seriously. i was happy to hear that. as i was watching her long board today, i was impressed on how graceful she is riding on the water. gosh, i wish i can go to france and watch the contest. i think this year is her year…

temari hates when i put photos of her on my blog. that’s why i put photos of her on my blog. temari surfs, quits, surfs, and quits. now she’s surfing again and for her to wake up early 2 days in a row to surf, she must be loving it. and if she’s loving it, so am i. surfing with my 2 nieces this morning made me a happy uncle. you girls want to go again tomorrow? call me up…
