Round 1: \u00a0I had a wonderful time surfing with these cool surfers. \u00a0All college classmates on a surf trip to Hawaii. \u00a0These surfers are in their mid 60’s and know how to have fun!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ozawa-san surfing really good. \u00a0Very calm and always smiling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shimodamura-san surfed with a lot of experience. \u00a0Lots of energy and long rides.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My friend Brady had his drone and took some amazing videos of everyone. \u00a0He filmed all the rides. \u00a0I’m looking forward to downloading the footage tomorrow. \u00a0Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When my family gives me fresh fish, I immediately clean it and prepare it for the next meal. \u00a0This is called “Halalu” and is best when it’s deep fried.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is an island favorite treat. \u00a0If you deep fry it properly, you can eat the bones and all. \u00a0A bowl of hot rice on the side and this was my lunch for today.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Round 2: \u00a0When you have the whole ocean with just a couple of other surfers, you can’t complain. \u00a0You just focus, surf, learn, and be grateful and free. \u00a0Every time I surf out here, I feel so GRATEFUL and FREE!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nakahodo-san is feeling the freedom of paddling and riding any wave he wants. \u00a0It’s so cool to see. \u00a0Anyway, there are 3 more south swells on the way. \u00a0Get ready for another month of surf, surf, and surf!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
