some people prefer to have short masts, and some people prefer to have long masts.  i like longer masts because it makes you get higher off the ocean surface.  and once you have this feeling of height, you get addicted.  so yes, higher is happier for me!  scarier too.  haha…

and when you’re doing turns with a longer mast, it also feels much more higher.  and  yes, higher is happier for me!  dangerous too.  haha…

these tourists in Bali must be high on drugs.   they rode off a pier with their bike and landed in the ocean.  they just did it for the instagram likes.  the government found out who they were and deported them from Bali.   i don’t like when tourists do stupid things like this.  go back home!

my brother, sister, and i were on a natural high.  i was riding behind my sister and couldn’t stop laughing when she would crash!  but she got back up time after time and kept on riding.   that’s strength!

and you can’t get higher than this in Hawaii.  we were standing on the top of a cliff overlooking the entire East side of the island.  it was so beautiful!  we were so high and happy!!!

Me, my Sister, and my Brother on the top of the world!

Good morning 4:15am.
North shore 6-8′ becoming 10′ plus the afternoon.
Ala Moana knee high and strong offshore winds.
Diamond Head shoulder high and super bumpy.
Strong trade winds at 30mph.
Sun, showers, and huge double rainbows.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

i took a chance and headed out to the North shore in the dark early morning.  i wasn’t too sure how the waves were going to be but i needed a challenge.  i wanted something bigger and more exciting.  so i paddled out to this outer reef and nobody was there.  just me and these mountains!  

i couldn’t believe how perfect the waves were.  i went out searching for excitement, and i sure got it!  paddling into big waves with the foil is such an adrenaline rush!   after i came in, i was so tired…

i came back to town and was planning to take a nap.  then i find out my brother and sister were going to ride up to the mountain top.  i put my nap and everything else on hold…

i’m pretty stoked that Tammy is riding dirt bike now.  we had a blast up in the mountains!  can’t wait to go again!

left home at 5:30am and just got back at 7pm.  it was such a wonderful day in the ocean and the mountains!  can’t wait for what tomorrow brings.  goodnight…
