Had a super fun session at Bowls with Ryuushi-san this morning.  He rode my magic board and we worked on simple technique.  Wave by wave he got better and better.  Excellent surfing!  

The waves were way better than expected.  Absolute perfect conditions!!!  

It got pretty crowded but there were enough waves for everyone.    

While Stu and I were having a conversation, he saw something swim right under us.  He pointed it out and said “tiger shark!”  

Thank goodness it wasn’t a tiger shark, but a shark is a shark.  See it on the right side of this photo?  It was actually hunting something right under our feet.

Then he came back again and again looking for food.  It’s pretty shallow so imagine this thing looking up and thinking your foot is food?

When sharks are hunting right under your feet, it’s time to go in.  So we caught one more and went in.  This was Ryuushi-san’s last wave which was super beautiful.  Another wonderful day in paradise!

Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

Started this morning off at Ala Moana Bowls.  You could just tell that today was going to be another beautiful day.

The waves are smaller so a lot of surfers showing up early.  It was too crowded to surf so I foiled.  Caught 15 waves in my 30 minute session.  Excellent workout with the feeling of total freedom.

Diamond Head was perfect!  Long rights with clean conditions.

Lots of surfers but lots of waves too.

Then went to check up on the boys after their outer island boat trip.  These boys are learning very fast.  All becoming great watermen.

Then straight to the Hawaii International Festival featured film “Trilogy.”  OMG, that was one of the best surf movies I saw in a very long time.  Incredible cinematography, world champion surfing, exotic surf destinations, great storyline, and funny too.  Good to see Seth making the big screen!
