right when we got out, a perfect right hander came straight to us. i yelled “go” and we both rode this amazing wave.

Mana-san caught over 30 waves again. then she caught more in the afternoon so total for 2 days was about 60 waves ridden. Mana means “power” in hawaiian and that’s what this girl is!
