Dawn patrol Ala Moana this morning.  Cool winds and cooler water.  Winter is here!

1MM Dove long sleeve is perfect for now!  Good flex and keeps you warm.

Testing out a brand new surfboard today.  Looking good!

Keep pushing girl.  It’s happening!!!

Good morning 4am.
North shore 3-5′ and bumpy.
Ala Moana waist high and clean.
Diamond Head chest high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 25mph.
Sun, showers, and rainbows.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

Well, the swell is gone and the strong trade winds are back.  That 11 day run of waves will go down in everyones memory.  Will there be another winter run on the South shore?  All we can do is hope so.

It might be a while until we see sets like this at Bowls.  But when it comes, we will be out there for sure.  

Going on a surf trip with Kimura-san is fun.  He’s pretty brave and likes to challenge himself.  It makes me worry, but somehow he survives.  

I was ordered to get my flu shot.  Shots are something I don’t like.  I’d rather take off on a 20′ wave then get a needle poked into my body.  

When this girl was a little baby, I use to hold her down when the doctor gave her shots.  She would scream so loud and try to fight it off.  

Now, it’s the opposite.  I’m the one screaming and yelling as she’s telling me to keep calm and breathe.  Haha.
