HSA State Championships

Aloha,
If you didn't know Devin and Nicole surfed in the HSA State Championships at Ala Moana Bowls this past week.The conditions at Bowls couldn't have been any better... 2 -3 feet with occasional 4 footer rolling through.

Nicole surfed in the Girls 12-13 division. She surfed in one of the first heats of the day. The waves wasn't in perfect form yet, but there was some good ones to be had. Nicole surfed really well in her heat and was able to advance to the semi final. In the semi's, she was once again surfing really well but didn't get that one wave she needed to advance to the finals. Over all she was stoke with her finish. But she said it would have been better to advance to finals. That's ok... you did great and especially when your having fun out there!!

Devin surfed in the Menehune shortboard division which is the 11 and under. He advanced through four rounds and won a couple of heats in the process before the semi final. In semi final Devin ended up posting his highest score of the event, a 9.5! He was stoke with his score, but he was even happier with the announcement that he had won the semi. Then it was time for the final. The final was stacked with the best surfers from a cross the state and some great waves to be surfed. So the stage was set. All the kids surfed really well and it was just a matter of who was going to get the best wave. Devin had some great medium size waves but not the one he needed in the end. He just missed a solid four foot wave that could have possibly been a very high scoring wave. So he settle for the next wave that didn't open up for him in the closing seconds. After surfing four rounds and a semi final,  Devin ended up placing "3rd" in the HSA State Championships final!!!

We are super stoked for Nicole and Devin and their accomplishments this season.

Hump Day Surfing

Aloha...
Here we are on the north shore of Oahu for a late surf session at Ehukai. Of course the kids are out while I have the camera duties once again. I can't complain to much because I enjoy watching them surf. Or at least I think so. Hahaha
From the looks of things the HSA turtle bay contest will be canceled once again for the second week in a row. Oh well I guess we get to free surf all weekend instead or clean the house. What to do.
That's it for now....peace.

Nicole's Birthday Race

At Podium Raceway for Nicole's birthday race. She took second against Devin. It's her birthday but her brother still didn't let her win. Hahaha. To bad big brother Jordan didnt race with them. That would made things even more enteresting. Jordan ended up racing against the big dogs and came in second.
It looked like a lot of fun out there racing. The kids validated that by there smiles on thier faces.  If you ever get a chance... check out Podium Raceway and get your race on.

The race is on!!

The results

Once the racing was complete, the kids work up an appetite. So we went to Nicole favorite place to eat Genki Sushi. Of course I won that race by having the most plates in front of me. hahahaha. Now to top it off we went Grandma's for some ono cake and ice cream. 

What a great day with my beautiful daughter on her special day. Happy Birthday to my Nicole!!!

Peace out Homies!!!
