Before I paddled out, I sat on the beach and watched the sun rise. \u00a0I was in no rush as the waves were only going to get better and better throughout the day.<\/p>\n

And it got better and better by the hour. \u00a0I rode a bigger board and sat on the outside catching the sets. \u00a0Not too many surfers out today as this girl got a good one.<\/p>\n

I love surfing Diamond Head like this. \u00a0It’s not easy to surf but if you know where to wait and have the right surfboard, you will have a great time. \u00a0If you don’t know where to wait or have the wrong surfboard, it will be a nightmare session.<\/p>\n

This was my original itinerary for Japan. \u00a0But to pay $3,389 for a round trip on ANA, no thank you. \u00a0I searched for a ticket to anywhere else but Japan and found a rare deal. \u00a0It took 10 seconds for me to click “BOOK AND PAY.” \u00a0Can’t wait for to fly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
