Surfing at Ala Moana 3

Yes I've done it.

After four weeks of rain the swell has finally turned and five foot waves are breaking on the shores of Ala Moana. The boards Ellen bought for $10 have proved excellent and I have finally surfed my first real wave. The feeling is excellent and I am craving to get back out there and on to the board.

Unfortunately a recent basketball game has led to a badly sprained ankle. It will be at least a week until I can make it out again. Dang.

Diamond Head is looking greener than ever after the rains and Ellen and I have been taking regular cycling trips to enjoy the scenery.

The last few days in Hawaii, Juius and I went out to surf every chance we got. We rode some pretty gnarly waves and I've definitely caught the bug now. I look forward to surfing the beaches of Melbourne! (uh-oh, Great White territory)
