passing by magic island looking from the channel. i pass these trees 10x a week and still think it’s so cool!

then looking at bowls from Mayuki. 3 guys on a wave? sometimes i’m in the mood so i go out there, but most of the times i’m not so i pass it by and go check my secret spot.

i pull up and see perfect unridden barrels. people ask me why nobody surfs here? first, you need a boat. second, you can’t be afraid of 15′ tiger sharks. that’s why i end up surfing there all by myself.

then i look out and see a sailboat in distress. there was no wind so it was just stopped in the ocean getting pushed into the waves. i hear the captain yelling “F!@K!!!” i knew exactly where he was so i just watched from far away through my lens. after i see him get out his paddle and try to paddle that big boat with a small paddle, i knew he was desperate.

i see a sailboat just go right on by.

then i see a another boat pull by to help. there’s no way that little boat could pull that big boat. i watch for 20 minutes more and see the boat getting pushed into the big waves and reef. that’s when i knew it was time to rescue the guy.

i pull by, back up, connect the tow rope, and tow him out to safety. after it’s all done, that captain says “thanks dude, you saved my life.” that’s cool because one day that captain might save mine too.
