When the waves on the South shore are small, I just drive 40 minutes to the East and there will always be a head high wave.  Sometimes a very challenging wave, and sometimes a very perfect wave.  The only problem about this spot is that it’s very dangerous.  I think that’s why nobody surfs here?

Almost every wave will let you do a simple carve like this.  So you can do it over and over and it becomes muscle memory.  Then when you go surf a clean wave like Bowls, it becomes automatic.    

After doing my daily workout at home, it didn’t feel like it was enough.  I wanted to push a little harder so I went to the gym.  Gosh, the weights seem to be getting a lot heavier than before.  Haha.

All the Moniz kids were over last night so it was a good time to get one of Seth’s old boards out of my closet.  Seth rode this “superman” surfboard when he was 11 years old.  I kept it all these years because I knew one of the next generation would be so proud to ride it.  

This is the next generation.  Dream big kid!  Just like Uncle Seth, you can do it!

Another day in paradise…

Good morning 4:45am.
Ala Moana waist high and good.
Diamond Head chest high and fun.
Light trade winds at 15mph.
Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

We paddled out to Bowls right when the storm was approaching.   The wind turned onshore and everyone came in.  So lucky because we love to surf onshore waves.  More power, more challenging, and more technical.

Lots of surfers go in when the winds turn onshore because they don’t know how to surf in these kind of conditions.  Good surfers can surf anything.

Came home and taught the boys how to do simple home repairs.  This is about the age when my Grandpa taught me.  I never forgot a thing.

Now if you need your electrical plates changed, these boys can do it!

Had a late night family gathering.  I’m usually sleeping but when everyone comes over, I’ll wake up and join the party.

Sitting in a circle, playing games, and loving our family bond.  I just got home and felt so grateful to have these kind of moments.  Seth leaves to California and we’ll all be cheering for him!

The pedestrian bridge is finally completed!!!  It took 6 years to build!!!  They started it back in 2019 and it cost $26,000,000.  I’m sure this is the most expensive pedestrian bridge in the whole world!
