He`e nalu hou kakou

As mentioned in an earlier post, Dan has arrived on island. We paddled out this morning to Tonggs to introduce him to Hawaiian reef surf. The waves were chest high and very clean. We each caught a few waves but the crowd picked up pretty rapidly. We paddled in, content if not entirely fulfilled.

Later in the afternoon we decided to launch an attack on Graveyards. Sue, Chris, Bruce, Dan, and I took the bodyboards down to Makalai Park, put on our fins, and puttered on out to the break. There was a decent sized crowd out, but unlike the morning session people kept paddling in, not out. Soon there we were able to abandon the crumbling rights and move into the long screaming lefts.

Sue acted as videographer and was able to catch Dan on a nice little right.
