Scary!
Good morning 5:50am.
Small South swell continues.
Bowls and Ala Moana chest high and perfect.
Diamond Head a little bigger but side winds.
Light trade winds at 15mph.
Going to be a sunny day.
Going to go diving.
Going to have fun.
Have a wonderful day!

i had a great surf session this morning with Isojima-san. a super nice guy that loves surfing just as much as i do.

i wanted to do something different today so i took him to bowls through the backdoor. parked at magic island, walked through the super green park, and paddled across the channel. it’s just a whole new way to look at bowls.

Isojima-san surfed really good today. we had the inside bowl to ourselves all morning long. the waves were super perfect, long, and offshore. i was stoked to see him catching so many waves.

and yes, the new Hilton Hawaiian Village Rainbow Tower is almost done with renovations. it’s been months since they covered the famous rainbow and i’m glad to see part of it coming back brighter than ever! can’t wait to see the whole thing.

and i’m pretty sad to see what’s happening to our beautiful island. crane after crane and building after building. this once amazing view is going to get ugly in my eyes. it’s ruining our island.

and was stoked to see Anti ripping out today. super graceful, super local, super hawaiian, and super cool. a man we must all respect.
afternoon session photos coming soon. tomorrow is another training day in the ocean and i’m looking forward to fine tuning my gear for the last few times. then i’m packing and leaving! good night!

Rockpiles this afternoon at 2pm.
Good upcoming tide and good waves.
Hawaii saiko!
