We were lucky to score some challenging waves yesterday. \u00a0Surfing these kind of waves will only help your ocean IQ. \u00a0These are the days that makes a surfer stronger and smarter.<\/p>\n

Had a great time in Waikiki last night. \u00a0I haven’t done this in years so it was really fun. \u00a0Dukes Waikiki is one of the most busiest restaurants in the nation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The dessert was one of the best I’ve ever tried. \u00a0I’ll go back just to eat that.<\/p>\n

Spending time with two legends. \u00a0Tony Moniz and Tokura-san are legends in the international surf industry. \u00a0They first met each other back in 1980 at Jeffrey’s Bay in South Africa. \u00a0Fast forward 45 years and now we’re having dinner on Waikiki Beach where surfing was born. \u00a0Lots to talk about and lots in common. \u00a0Two of the biggest influential people in my life. \u00a0I am where I am today because of these two legends.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This morning we drove around for 2 hours looking for waves. \u00a0We were looking for something exciting and we got more than that. \u00a0Right as we paddled out, the big storm hit. \u00a0Not even 5 minutes into our session, everything turned black.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We’re out in the middle of the sea, we can’t see land, we can’t see anything 5′ away, rain stinging our eyes, then everything turned blinding white. \u00a0It was one of the craziest moments ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
