when the ocean takes care of you, you should take care of the ocean.  we put on our dive gear and went to work. 

in Hawaii, there are lots of fishermen that fish off the cliffs.  and when their fishing line gets stuck to the reef, it breaks and stays there forever.  the only way to retrieve it is to dive down and untangle it by hand.  

there are hooks, lead, and line everywhere.  i was happy to have my helper come and clean the ocean with me.  

in Hawaii, a lot of fishermen use automotive spark plugs instead of lead weights.  so you will see a lot of spark plugs on the bottom of the ocean.  i’m sure that can’t be good for the reef.

there is also fishing line tangled everywhere.  imagine if a turtle gets tangled in this?  not good.

we were happy to get this much trash out of the ocean.  but we were sad to know that there was much more left stuck to the reef.  next time i’ll go back and take out more.  it’s doing good for our environment, and the exercise is incredible.  everybody wins…

Good morning 4am.
North shore shoulder high and good.
Ala Moana chest high and good.
Diamond Head shoulder high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 20mph.
Sun, showers, and rainbows.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

i thought it was going to be a lot bigger today so i took my shortboard to the beach.  that was a mistake because the waves were perfect for the longboard.

i had the wrong board so i stayed mostly in the inside and watched the beautiful surfers girls ride all the beautiful waves.

it was pretty crowded for a small day but nobody was complaining.

this was the set of the day.  good waves for everybody!

sometimes i need to take a deep breath and slow down.  this was one of those times…
