Your Lucky Summer Day!

240

we pulled up at bowls parking lot this morning. i looked at the waves and it looked junk. so i looked at other spots, looked at the swell direction, looked at the clouds moving, and looked at Ando-san and said “get back in the car, today is your lucky day!”

jumped on Mayuki and headed out to a spot i knew was working today. all the right variables came together on this day so let’s just call it “The Day!”

there was only one of my other friend out! so we were giving Ando-san pretty much any wave he wanted. perfect overhead sets with the longest rights ever! we freaking scored the most epic session! look how beautiful this Ando-san’s wave is!!! it’s like indonesia! and nobody out? score!

after a few hours, it was time to eat lunch. Ando-san came back to Mayuki with the biggest smile.

then passed by Diamond Head to check the waves. and after looking at it for 5 minutes, i knew the spot we surfed in the morning was still going to be good.

so went to cool down with Waiola Shave Ice. got a serious ice cream headache because i ate too fast.

our second round was longer, better, and we surfed until our arms wouldn’t let us surf any more. Ando-san will have a hard time raising his hands to shampoo his hair tonight. haha. great job dude!
