Family Clowning around...

 The warm up turned out to be a laugh fest....

 The little guy rocked it!!

 All of a sudden I looked up and the guy was on his head :) Classic...

 Oscar was the middle boy and he caught some rockin' waves!

 Yet another head stand?! What's with that!

 Mama got some of the best waves of all of them...she was solid!

Felix following in mama's shoes...

And the winner for best hair goes to...!?

 Contestant #1 was going for the skin job...just right to the roots for this guy...

 Contestant #2 was beating the heat with this trendy Mohawk down the Middle....

 And contestant #3 was going for the overall coverage look...hmm....

 And last but not least...contestant #4 went for the puffed out fro-style locks for the competition....

Quite frightening all of them really...you chose who gets the prize....

Liz at Lani's

 I was accompanied on the beach by a family of chickens, very curious as to what I was doing and IF I had food or not...

 Liz is here for the week from New Zealand and is doing great! This whole week we've been blessed by a ridiculously awesome sweet that breaks perfectly at Laniakea! Everyone has come out slowly, but we started out just having the 3 of us out there! I guess the word got out....by the third day of perfect waves there was a crowd of about 40 people!

This wave was excellent! It got me so excited that I stopped taking pics and went and joined them in the water! I just couldn't miss out on these out-of-season conditions!

Surf Session at Yokihamas

 The scenery here just sets the backdrop to this crazy surf spot...totally isolated and majestic!

 The pre-prayer before jumping into the waves...the boys were pumped up!

 The waves were a little large and sinister for me so I was thankful to have my camera...

 This peak was more for body boarders I feel...also known at speed bumps here on the North Shore :)

 Sergio was in top form and loving the waves...throwing water on all sides!

 Gui getting a monster drop! I'd be a little frightened to see the reef staring back at me :)

Volunteer groups surf it up...

 This July we've been able to have groups of 12-21 students that have come to Hawaii to spend the month doing community service and having fun! This day there were 21 kids in the water! Phew!

 This was just the first half....

Taylor was like a natural out there in the waves! So much fun!

My bedside companion...

Right before falling asleep, I turned over to find this little beauty on top of my dresser....that was a surprise! haha!

The Blessed Day...

God must have known we were a little short on cash this day because Sergio found 20 bucks as he was paddling out with a student! How awesome!!

Surfin' on the Sand...

 Rosi went all the way on the longest wave of her life at Chun's Reef...

 She just didn't know when to STOP!

TOTALLY surfing on the sand at this point haha! What a finish!
