The Eddie Aikua surf contest was on yesterday and it was awesome!! Beautiful sunny day, clean glassy waves, an epic day according to the experts like Kelly Slater who placed but didn't win!
We left about 7:45 and thought for sure we would be stuck in traffic but we actually did not hit any at all, of course we had to park 2 miles away and walk but we were definitely moving faster than the cars!! All morning the news was reporting how backed up it was and all the crowds. It was crazy the news reported tens of thousands of people!
The whole group out there went for this wave except for the guy on the right but I think he made it safely over!
My friend Andrea and I were talking while watching this and saying how we definitely cannot call ourselves surfers because our little 1- 3 ft waves just don't cut it but I am okay with that. In this picture the surfer is dropping in, definitely the exciting, dangerous and for me scary part of surfing. I don't even like to drop down a few feet because the few times I have I usually flip forward over my board and then I fall in the ocean which is not my favorite place so I try to avoid falling in the water!! I just stick to my white water and enjoy that!All these pictures are courteous of my friend Andrea who took some great shots while I was tending to my baby who is little sickly so not so fun for her!
Thanks Andrea for coming with me again, it was fun to see!!

I hope Kai is doing better. It would have been awesome to see those waves - I always thought the 20 foot waves were amazing.
