Mermaid Man and Surfer Dude


Snorkeling at Ko Olina Resort.
This place was gorgeous.

Learning the rules and actions of a surfer.
His teacher's name was Lucky. Hale'iwa.

Paddling out. He was told he would be tired after an hour.
And He was. I stood on that rock point watching and taking pictures for 1.5 hours. This was our longest day on the beach.

But he rode quite a few waves and went for a whole 2 hours
He was glad to have a rash guard. Forgot to put sunscreen on his calves. They were red. Still waiting for them to start peeling.

All done. We were walking back to the surf truck and I spotted Bethany Hamilton. The teenage surfer whose arm was bitten off by a shark. They were filming a movie about her at our hotel and she was taking a break and hanging out with some friends. We didn't take a picture of her. I don't know what protocol for that kind of stuff is.

  1. I'm impressed that he was able to get up. He needs to come teach Eric how to surf! Looks like it was a beautiful day at the beach!
