Alan’s been out swimming everyday and shooting photos. \u00a0So when I see him, I try to push a little harder so I can learn something. \u00a0By the time I get home, I already received the photos from him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I tried to slow it down and hit the lip with a little more power than usual. \u00a0That’s the key to throwing big spray from behind. \u00a0It’s not about speed, it’s about flow.<\/p>\n

OMG, did you see this big crocodile that was swimming in the lineup in the Mentawai’s? \u00a0I surfed HT’s many times and didn’t even know there were crocodiles there. \u00a0If I saw that after pulling out of a barrel, I would have a heart attack. \u00a0That’s crazy! \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

15 years ago, I drove by the river in Kailua and saw this beautiful custom boat docked in front of a multimillion dollar house. \u00a0I took this photo, then drove around the river, parked my car, and knocked on the front door. \u00a0The owner came out and I asked if I can check out his beautiful boat. \u00a0I said to him “that’s my dream boat, how can I get one?” \u00a0I actually asked him if he would sell his boat to me and he laughed and said “no way! get your own.” \u00a0Haha. \u00a0I got the contact, I called the maker, and ordered a custom boat just like that. \u00a0It’s crazy how “love at first sight” works…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
