Pushing each other’s limits…

Never in the summer you will get a day looking like this.  It’s the cool North winds that clean the air and make the sky as blue as it can get.  And when there are zero clouds, it almost looks like a fake painting.  These are the days you just admire nature and take in deep breaths of the cleanest air in the world.  

This is the first time I tried to ride a longboard in front of a wave.  Got this cool photo but also almost got run over.  Not the safest thing to do but worth the shot.  

I decided to take a photo of the sky because there wasn’t even a cloud over the mountains.  And look at that full moon!  So beautiful!

Opps, that was actually a spot of water on my camera lens.  Sometimes mistakes make cool photos…

Yesterday morning was by far the clearest of the year.  The perfect sunrise and absolutely no clouds.  Clear sky and cool wind.  Welcome to Hawaii Boot Camper Shimamura-san.   The morning glides were calm and cool.

The waves were even good enough for the shortboard if you had the right one.  

Foot placement a lot better so now the turning a lot better.  

Shimamura-san came to Hawaii just for 2 days.  Surfing was his main activity and we had a wonderful session.  Long rides that were great for the mind, body, and soul.
