Happy Easter 03-31-2024

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!!!

I miss the days of Dawn being in elementary school, coloring Easter eggs and going to Easter Egg Hunts. I also miss taking my Mother out for some fancy Easter Brunch, while she liked the simplicity of eating at home, she loved to go out for Japanese food, Thai food or a fancy buffet. Happy Easter Mom and Dad!

Today we hunt for waves!

Light Trades, sunshine and smaller waves with mellow crowd of 4 and super chillin' vibes!

 

Everyday I like to watch the sun rise and thank God for another beautiful day!

Downwinding 03-28-2024

My second try at a Downwind run from Portlock.

This was a good day since the waves are small and the wind is up.

 

Wailupe will be our finishing spot, we leave one car here.

 

 

Mahalo to braddah Wes for joining me and our cheering squad at the pier!

Mahalo Neil for shuttling us around and providing water patrol. Your help was invaluable!!!

Good strong winds!

 

 

Why do the buildings look so small?

 

Even though I struggled, I had a blast!

Wes did great too, for his first time. 

I thought Wailupe would be a good spot to finish but the run felt too short, next time I would like to finish further down. I just need a partner to join me? Any takers???
