today was one of those days where you just have to know the ocean. the winds and weather was so bad this morning that most spots were junky and ugly. if you went anywhere from waikiki to makaha, you got skunked. but if you went around the corner to diamond head, you had fun. Kenji-san and Chisako-san are 2 cool surfers that love to surf!

so happy to be in the super green diamond head mountain. walking down the trail is tiring, but when you reach the beach, it’s all worth it.

normally when you look from the top, the waves look better than it really is. but today, it looked not the greatest from the top, but it was freaking awesome from the water. we scored!
