i really noticed how green and lush the plant life in hawaii is. there really is some very beautiful plant life on the islands that one needs to appreciate. everywhere. right in your backyard. so alive.
this is matt moore shaping a classic bradbury shape at the sacred craft expo a couple weekends ago. super so cool to see others shaving foam, ian zamora cranked out one of his classic quad fishes with the signature jet tail. super sweet. gerry lopez shaped on sunday but missed it. loads of great info to be had from the masters.
extreme low tides in the am. never seen kaneohe bay so drained out before. the sandbar was humungus and all the reefs exposed pre-tsunami-like. everyone reef walking, fishing, spearing..memories.
sometimes i really wonder why i ever wanted to leave home.
east side, clear and hot, kona winds...if there was only some NE swell, the eastside would be firing! pretty seldom that these conditions come together, but when they do, this side of the island can be utterly magical.
