Honolulu Pawn Shop

This morning was very challenging but the more you challenge yourself, the better you’ll get.  Takahashi-san always up for the challenge.  

Yesterday when we surfed, there were about 30 waves per hour.  Today, there were over 200 waves per hour.  Just to get out, you had to go through 30 waves.  But once you rode one, it’s pretty amazing.

Weird weather produces beautiful conditions that change every minute.  The colors were amazing.

Good job Takahashi-san!  You’re getting better and stronger.  Boot Camp continues so be ready.

After a very challenging surf, relaxing under a tree watching the ocean is the best way back to reality.  We surfed with nobody out today compared to surfing with 50 surfers yesterday.  I prefer today.

Went to check out the Kakaako Night Market last night.  I was surprised how many people were there!  It’s the first one since Covid so it seemed like half the island was there.

I think this is a really good concept.  Close the streets, line it up with food trucks and vendors, live entertainment, and a very safe environment.  I’ll definitely go back again.

Go check out the cool Honolulu Pawn Shop.  It’s very unique, very interesting, and very cool.  Congratulations to Kelia and Joe!

A November Summer

We’re in the middle of November and still getting summer swells!  Today was head high, clean, and very warm.

Takahashi-san hasn’t surfed big waves before so she was a little nervous.  But after riding a few sets, everything was great!

You can get the longest rides out at Ala Moana.  Just keep on looking forward!

Nice first day of Boot Camp Takahashi-san!  See you tomorrow!

Look at this!  When I first saw it, I got super interested.  This is going to be the future for sure.  I’m already thinking about how I can mount foils on Mayuki!

Someday I will foil around islands just like this.  I can’t wait!!!
