OMG, the North shore was so good today! \u00a0A building North swell with South winds making Laniakea as perfect as it can be. \u00a0Solid 6′ and like a dream. \u00a0I paddled out with one thing in mind, “go out, hunt, and just go!” \u00a0There were 100 surfers out today so I think I did pretty good catching 4 waves in 30 minutes. \u00a0It was EPIC! \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Stopped by Pipeline to watch the contest. \u00a0Bummer the waves weren’t that good. \u00a0It wasn’t looking like Pipeline but more like a beach break. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Joshua didn’t make his heat today but he did qualify for the 2026 WSL Challenger Series. \u00a0Rated in the Top 5 of Hawaii and Tahiti. \u00a0Congratulations Joshua! \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Thank you Mighty Mouse for the photos. \u00a0Can you believe it was storming rain, cloudy, dark, and flooding everywhere? \u00a0But once underwater, it was as beautiful as it gets. \u00a0And I think the tako were surprised to see us out there. \u00a0We were probably the only 2 divers on the whole island in the water that day. \u00a0Nobody else was crazy enough to even try. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

We were so lucky to find a new tako spot. \u00a0There were tako and shells everywhere! \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Tako are very smart so you kind of have to outsmart them. \u00a0It’s like a game trying to get them out of the hole. \u00a0The funny thing is you don’t know how big it is until it comes out. \u00a0This one was pretty big and aggressive. \u00a0And it was also delicious…<\/p>\n
