Nukin' at Diamond Head

I dropped off Marlon at music practice today and stopped off at the lookout at Diamond Head to checkout what the wind and surf were doing.  It was pretty nuclear - there were some guys getting a few waves, but it was a lone windsurfer who was ruling the place!

Definitely made me want to rig up!

Post Lane Date Night

We spent most of the day getting our home back in order - plants back on the racks, tools and equipment back on the shelves, vacuuming, sweeping, and identifying stuff that we can purge (since we were going through it all anyways).  A friend of ours asked if we could come over to their house to fix a few things that broke in the heavy winds - and that turned out to be a great excuse to go on a date night!

We hit Nathan's and after checking out his plants and fixing a few broken pots, we headed down to the Olive Tree - a greek restaurant that is never open when we are in Kahala.  Awesome food!!!

Next we stopped at the top of Diamond Head.  The surf was waist to shoulder high and a little textured from the gusty wind.  A guy surfing had his leash break and he swam in from the middle break at Cliffs.  The wind kept pushing his board towards Lighthouse and he swam past it.  When he got to the beach, he kept looking around for his board and he finally looked up at us - we pointed and he took off running after the board.

Fun date night!  And....

I love my wife!

Diamond Head

It's been a while since I've surfed here...

Lots has changed about this place, but the waves are still the same

SUP Surfing One of My Favorite Spots

Can you guess where it is??? Wait for it..... It's not a secret place - it's Diamondhead! Every tourist bus on Oahu stops at the top of the road. And everyone surfs here - local or not. I wiped out a few times and even messed up my left foot on one of the waves... hmmmm low tide reef bites... (I still love you Diamondhead even though you hurt me....) I didn't even realize I was bleeding until I was at Kua Aina. Mmmmmmm!!!! Bloody slipper clip-clop!!!! Makes you hungry for hamburger doesn't it???? ;)
