Molokai Monopoly

i have no idea who votes for the best beaches in America, but if it were me, this list would be much different.  Duke Kahanamoku Beach #6?  really?  that’s the beach right next to the Ala Moana Bowls parking lot.  lots of rocks in the water, dirty water due to the jetty in front, and tons of tourists umbrellas on the beach.  i’m not sure how Dr. Beach made his list?  maybe the fronting Hilton Hawaiian Hotel gave him a penthouse suite and free meals when he wrote his list.  something’s fishy…

bad news for the people of Molokai.  Ohana airlines is ending service to that island.  last year there were 3 airlines, then this year down to 2 airlines, and now there is only one.  i smell a monopoly…

Mokulele is happy because it’s only airlines servicing Molokai so expect prices skyrocketing.  i use to pay $50 for one way but now it’s double.  triple coming up for sure.  bummer.  but the good thing is Mayuki still can take us there…

May 29, 2021 Hawaii Surf Report

Go-Naminori!

Good morning 3:40am.
Ala Moana chest high and perfect.
Diamond Head head high and good.
Trade winds at 15mph.
Sunny and warm.
Going to foil.
Have a wonderful day!

Around the Corner

trade winds blowing, nice South swells, and perfect weather.  i went looking around Diamond Head for some surf….

Cliffs looked fun but a little too wild for my foil.  so i drove around the corner and when i saw the waves, i couldn’t believe how good it was!

i was paddling out and seen some perfect lines.  next one was mine!!!

flying here in paradise.  i actually surfed a little later today so the morning crowd was gone.  perfect timing again…
