i heard Kelia was back in hawaii for an autograph session at the new quiksilver store at kahala mall. i went to see her and i couldn’t believe how many people showed up. fans everywhere! there was even a long line and security guards making sure everybody waited their turn. i guess you can say she’s become a superstar!

after i left kahala mall this afternoon, i drove by the the beach and found a little perfect spot, nobody out, and super fun! so i grab my longboard and paddle out for an awesome evening session all alone. i could have short boarded today but i only had 45 minutes and wanted to ride a lot of long waves. so the longboard was the call! thank you Yuki-san and Inaida-san for the photos!
windy conditions continue tomorrow. if you time it right, you might be able to find some perfect waves too. see you in the water.
