Sergio and his team competed in the first competition of the season from Haleiwa to Waimea Bay and back...

 Getting ready for the take off...

 And they're off! With the lift of the flag 55 boats took off to Waimea Bay during a crazy rain storm!

 Sergio's boat came in a close 8th place in the Pro league, even though they were all amateurs! It was amazing!

 All Sergio's supporters came out to the beach to cheer him on!

 YAY! It was a great victory and he was happy to be on the beach again haha!

Sergio and his friend Johnny who got him involved in paddling

Kaena Point

 Beautiful flowers lined our path as we hiked with the Levasa ladies to the tip of the island...

 Sergio and Gabby....tired but soaking in the refreshing breeze at Kaena Point

These rare monk seals are really quite hilarious as you observe them...they kept making hilarious sneezing noises and blowing snot on each other haha!

Sergio's lesson with the little tike...

 Our friend Ray's son is here visiting from Florida and it was his dream to do a lesson with Uncle Sergio :)

Look at that little guy on the wave! He was loving it!

Returning after a successful surf session...we have a new addict ladies and gentlemen! This kid's now hooked on surf!

Island Tour!

 A sweet couple from Brazil (but living in Japan) came for the island tour with Sergio and I...12 hours on the road whew! But it was totally worth it and we had a great day...stopping at the Dole Pineapple Plantation, the Macadamia Nut farm, Sandy Beach, and many other peaks...good times ;)

 Suicidal body boarders get their kicks out of a 2 second tube ride right before getting smashed on the sand...this is a sketchy spot to surf haha!

 I loved this eucalyptus tree! They smell so amazing! Sergio wants to build a house out of this wood hehe!

The Dr. Squad

 We had a whole crew of doctors in town and were blessed with a 6 person surf lesson! It was a blast! I felt like I was in good hands if anything were to happen during the lesson ;) They all got up and had a great surf session...great success!

The storm...

 These shots were what we went through Monday night as we were heading to the airport to pick up our friends son from Florida! It was the most incredible/frightening storm that I have ever witnessed! These two twisters were over Waikiki beach if you can believe it....intense!

This guy was hungry...

 This turtle was willing to fully beach himself just in order to get the best moss on the rocks haha! I was cracking up! This lil (or should I say GIANT) fellow was determined!
