Entry 260 - Lovin' Waikiki


Paddled out again this morning for another Queens Waikiki session. Beautiful again but a little smaller and harder to catch the good waves. I'm so used to Porto closeouts that I miss the easy, crumbly shoulder to head high sets here. Still I caught two nice ones to make it another wonderful morning in Waikiki!

Entry 259 - Waikiki Day 1


First surf session in Waikiki! Been here for 2 days but a pretty decent southern swell kept me from tempting fate - new break, even if it is Waikiki. Paddle out was long but pretty easy and not as far as I had expected. Caught both a left and a right and then 2 that brought me straight in. Long rides which I wasn't used to coming from Porto! Nice warm water too! I could definitely get used to the surf at Waikiki even if the place is a little like Vegas.

Entry 258 - Last 2015 Maui Surf Session


My last surf session in Maui for 2015 and it turned out to be nice and quiet. Got in for dawn patrol before the schools started showing up and although there were only about 6 or 7 good sets in the hour I was out there, I had a great time. Most memorable ride was a nice waist high set that took me close to the rocks of the jetty. Next post will be of my surf experience in Waikiki!
