Round 1:  The waves came up today and so did the crowds.  Lots of surfers enjoying this summer swell.

I was screaming “paddle, paddle, paddle!!!”  I think I yell so loud that people tend to get nervous.  Haha.

It’s been very consistent this summer.  Lots of small to medium swells and not so crowded.  

Round 2:  It’s so cool how everybody surfs better when there is some friendly competition.  The boys were pushing each other to higher levels!  

The waves this afternoon were much bigger than this morning.  And the conditions were much better too.  It was epic!  

Nakahodo-san speeding through this wave.

This view doesn’t get any better.  Surfing, shooting, and enjoying every wave ridden.

Hashimoto-san only surfs in Hawaii.  I think that’s pretty cool!  

Some rain, some sun, lots of waves, and lots of laughs.  An amazing day with the boys!

Yesterday once more:  Tommy with the smooth bottom turn.

Good morning 3:20am.
Ala Moana chest high and good.
Diamond Head shoulder high and bumpy.
Trade winds up to 25mph.
Sunny and warm.
Going to surf.
Have a wonderful day!

Round 1:  Kao-chan ripping early morning Bowls.  Waist high with chest high sets and good.  Very uncrowded.

This girl has a really good surf style.  Very smooth and very stylish.

Tommy taking off on a nice one.  Many waves and not so many surfers.  We scored!

Round 2:  Afternoon with the boys.  Hawaii Surf League contest starts today!

Hashimoto-san back in Hawaii feeling and looking good!

Nakahodo-san surfed his best today.  An afternoon of friendly competition.

The waves were coming up this afternoon.  Good waves and very few surfers.

If you compete, you will get better.  This is surfing.

Good day of surfing boys.  Everybody went home happy today!
