No Locals Today

I’ve never seen so many box jellyfish before.  That small sand patch in front of Bowls had 35 this morning, and I heard Waikiki had hundreds.  Not even the locals wanted to surf today.  

But if you surfed in Japan before, jellyfish is part of surfing life there.  Surfers don’t care.  So I guess you can say we were very lucky that the jellyfish prevented everyone from paddling out because it was only us.  

I told Shimizu-san that there were lots of jellyfish and he looked at me like he didn’t care.  He just wanted to surf!  

So just us at the peak at Bowls this morning catching every set that came in.  Waves are epic when nobody is out.  That’s a surfers dream session.

Rights were good too.  This all 1mm Dove Wetsuit is the best for jellyfish days.  

We focused on the lefts at first because Bowls is famous for the lefts.  

Good long rides and perfectly surfed.  Learning new things everyday.

Shizume-san surfs in Shikoku where it’s never uncrowded like this.  I kept on telling him to go, go, and go.  

Great surfing on these perfect waves!  Thanks you guys for a wonderful morning session.

Round 2 we surfed Diamond Head.  Super fun too!

Box Jelly Boys

It was dark, there were a lot of box jellyfish, but the waves were too good to pass up.  We went surfing!

When the box jellyfish are swimming all around you, you just don’t know when you’ll get stung.  And when you do, it hurts!  This girl would rather take the chance of getting stung than not surfing at all.

The jellyfish don’t bother Lance too.

Kyle was the first gut out and the first guy in.  Probably the smartest surfer.

As the sun rose, the surfing level went up.  Look how beautiful the waves were this morning.  Absolutely perfect conditions.

I thought she was going to pull into the barrel on this wave.  It was so good.

It was a pleasure surfing with the jellies and boys this morning.  You guys are hard core!

Afternoon we went to surf Waikiki.  It was a picture perfect day.  The Energizer Bunny Girl keeps going, going, and going…
