The waves were pretty fun this morning. \u00a0Chest high sets and still good. \u00a0Perfect for the longboard girls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The last month has been a journey. \u00a0Surfed so many different spots and met so many old time local friends. \u00a0I haven’t seen Mark Yoshizawa in years. \u00a0One of the old school Big Rights boys.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There have been many sessions I surfed all alone. \u00a0Those were my favorite times by far. \u00a0To have the entire lineup to yourself is pretty rare in Hawaii. \u00a0Sometimes I feel like I’m own a solo surf trip.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And there were times I explored, and got hurt. \u00a0This day I got pounded by the waves on the rocks and still have sea urchin stuck deep in my foot. \u00a0It’s been over 3 weeks and I feel the pain in each step I take.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The early morning sessions are mandatory. \u00a0No matter where I surf, I’m paddling out before the sun comes up. \u00a0Thank you Neal for this photo from dawn patrol at the Big Bowl.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I went back on my computer searching for the next trip. \u00a0Maybe just go and explore some deep culture? \u00a0Or maybe chase a typhoon in Japan? \u00a0Still deciding and won’t know until Mother Nature calls.<\/p>\n

Tickets are kind of expensive now. \u00a0Keeping an eye out and once I see a deal, I’m clicking “BOOK!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
