I guess this video needs some explanation since it makes me look like a terrible surfer. We were limited by equipment - I was as far out in the water as the zoom on the digital camera would allow. The surf (as you can somewhat see) was epic yesterday, in the 5-9 ft range, but the bigger the surf, usually the smaller the shorebreak (at least at this particular beach)...So, with my mom acting as cameraman, we shot about 6 attempts and, sadly, this is the best one.
With my mom visiting from Canada, I decided to take 4 days off work this (next?) week. I will be taking advantage of the extra baby care available and getting in some much needed surf-time (especially with the 5-9 ft swell building as I type)...oh, and also spending time with my mom, wife, new baby, and best boy...
Here's what we did today...
First, we went to church (hooray nursery workers!)
Then we drove to the north shore and went to the Dole Plantation to look at the Pineapples...
And ride the train...
And feed the massive amount of Koi...
And pose for cute pictures...
Then, we went up the road to Laniakea beach...
To see the turtles...
And pose for more cute pictures...
And then we fell asleep on the way home...well, not me...I was driving.
What a fun day in Hawaii. Hopefully, by tomorrow night, I'll have an actual video of me actually surfing.
