Lost and Expired

We were surfing at Bowls yesterday and a board came floating by.  The wind was so strong so I thought it must have come from Waikiki.  The surfer probably lost his board and swam to the beach because you would think it will get pushed in by the waves.  But, the wind plays a factor too so the strong winds actually blew back out to sea.  Thirty minutes later, I see a guy swimming from the beach all the way out to Bowls because he saw me with his board.  

He said he lost it at Rockpiles rights which is pretty far.  I don’t feel sorry for surfers that lose their boards if they don’t surf with a leash.  That’s life.  The lucky thing for him is he got to catch another wave in.  Haha.  

The government sent out free Covid tests to everyone.  I got mine yesterday in the mail.

I checked the expiration date it already expired back in January 2023.  OMG!  

I bought this surfboard from a lady who had it sitting in her garage for the past 40 years.  It’s treasure!  I took it to my friends factory to get it refinished.  You will be surprised to see who shaped this board.  It’s probably 50 years old and priceless!

Yesterday Once More:  The Golden Hour…

Good morning 5:20am.
North shore chest high and bumpy.

Diamond Head head high and really bumpy.
Strong trade winds at 25mph.
Sun, showers, and rainbows.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

Stay Windy

Today was very windy and not too many surfers like wind so it was totally empty all day long.  We surfed 2 rounds and Hashimoto-san must have caught 40 waves today.  These are the days you get the most out of Boot Camp.  The whole ocean is yours so you can ride anything that comes.  

Windy is good because it creates wind swell.  If there were no winds these past 2 days, the waves would be flat.

Good waves for practicing off the lips.  Hashimoto-san felt the lip and he was so stoked to hit it!  

Finally saw that big boat named Shinkai go out of the harbor.  Gosh, she is a beauty!   I would love to go to the Mentawai’s on that.  

This afternoon was even better than the morning.  Nobody was out so we rode everything!  

I’m super stoked to see Hashimoto-san surfing so much better on this trip.  You should see his smile on the paddle back out.  

Epic waves on a windy day.  Please stay windy!
