Mokuleia on Labor Day

We spent the afternoon up at a friend of a friend's house at Mokuleia/Waialua.

Uhhhh - anybody see any oama around here???

La brought one of the hammocks we got (in anticipation of building a gazebo in the back yard) - it is awesome!!!  I took a solid nap in it after booting the kids out of it.

Fun time!

Big Surf on Saturday January 13th, 2018

I took the kids up to see the big surf breaking on the North Shore this past Saturday.  I opted to take them over to Mokuleia Beach Park (google maps showed Kamehameha Highway pretty much at a standstill above Haleiwa).

And since we were up there, we hit the best burger shop in the universe - Kua Aina.

Earlier in the day we woke up to an emergency broadcast message on our phones saying there was an inbound ballistic missile, that we should take cover and the message wasn't a drill.  Nothing a Kua Aina burger can't fix!!!

Oh - and Charlie Does Surf

These were cropped from larger photos - that's the good thing about the higher resolution files - you at least have a change of grabbing incidental photos. I started playing with the angles of the gopro on my paddle too The last three are examples of photos I could crop to get a better final version. I am sore all over from paddling so much so this must have been a great weekend (except La and the kids are still not here :( )!!!

Dawn Patrol in the Vicinity of Daystar

Same crew, different spot. Jimmy brought his short board and surfed Daystar. Charlie and I SUP surfed the break across the channel. A nice, mellow right that dumped you out into the channel. The swell was overhead at Daystar, a little smaller where I was at, and there was no wind. Caught a bunch (funny how the same frame comes with every wave... these were each from different waves) I did wipeout - and I don't know what it is, but my feet seem to have gotten 'heavier' - I don't remember hitting the reef like I am now back when I lived and surfed here in the late 90's.... or maybe the fact that I weigh 25 pounds more has got something to do with it... nah - my feet are denser. Great surf session!!!
