...Lets go surfing now, everybody's learning how...

Yup still learning...


This surfing thing is a little harder than I thought it would be. This waiting for waves thing kinda sucks, at least with snowboarding you just go when you are ready; with surfing thing you have to wait for the earth to be ready for you.

Fred, Ashley and I joined the "dawn patrol" at Pohoiki this weekend, we left Hilo on Saturday night and camped for the night just off the surf. Being our veteran, Fred got us up at 5:30am, we cleaned up the camp site and headed to the water. Pohoiki is considered to be a more difficult spot that others in the Hilo area, Ashley and I were perhaps a little outside our experience, but all good.

Ashley started in 1st Bay, a little less difficult area. Fred and I started in 2nd Bay with the rest of the Dawn Patrol. After being swamped a couple of times a headed over to 1st Bay to join Ashley, and caught a couple of waves there.

they day flattened out, so we decided to leave and headed back to the hippie beach for a couple of hours.

Me, the ocean, and Pohoiki...
