Apparently, I have been “chillin’ out” since my last update, because it has been 3 weeks since writing about my adventures in surfing. In my defense, sort of, I was away at Disney for some of that time.
Now THAT is the face of excitement!!!!
Or terror. Sheer terror!
For some reason I'm thinking I would still fall in the water from there somehow.
There was some of that.
Way to go Dee!! That is awesome!
Thank you!
Well I guess they can't make is
too easy.
Check!
Awesome job surfing. What a great memory.
Spectacular sunset. The only sunsets that have come close to Hawaiian ones are those on cruises.
Thank you so much! Nate and I had a lot of fun surfing (and I think Mark enjoyed watching). Hawaiian sunsets really are so gorgeous.

Catching up. Wow! Lots of fun since last I posted in here. Great huge turtle. The sunset shots were truly marvelous. Enlargement and frame quality!
Surfing - you look good. Way to go! And it is crowded. I would find that difficult too with that many people in close proximity.

Thanks! Maui was really so much fun. I love the water, so it was great to be able to spend our time snorkeling, swimming and surfing.
A couple of times I sat down on the board, which is what you are instructed to do, when I thought I was going to hit someone.
Your surfing lesson looks like it was a lot of fun. The waves don't look very big, though. Were they good for surfing?
The waves were big enough!!!
The waves would take us to the shallow water, so it was fine.
Oooo, chicks hanging out at the surf shop. This looks promising. For Nate, I mean. Of course.
I didn't notice.
Always a good idea to get the pictures taken before -- when you're still thinking how easy this is going to be and how cool you're going to look while doing it. (Which it turns out you did!)
I was not thinking how cool I was going to look. I was just hoping I would stand at least once.
This IS going to be easy -- you've got this!!
I'm glad you are confident!
The guitar riff from "Wipeout" started playing in my head the moment I saw this!! I love the "Minnie" hands too!
Sounds about right!
Now quick, swap boards. I'll be super-impressed.
You did good Dee!!
I should show the rest of the series this incident. It looks like I push the other girl off the board (I didn't!) and then I'm smiling, like "Yeah! I'm still up!"
You look as excited as a girl in a candy shop. Good for you. IT looks like a fun time. I have to say I am very impressed with your Syncronized Surfing.
We are both just trying to stay up.
That looks like so much fun and you guys really did a great job!!!
I enjoyed it. We live about 15 minutes from the beach and about 30 minutes from a beach where you can take surf lessons. Somehow, doing this in 60 degree water is not quite as enticing.
Well, well, well, look at you! He'e (Hawaiian for surf's up!) Next thing you know you'll be going to the North Shore for the Billabong Pipe Masters! Kowabunga dude!! Great pics and great update. I'm so envious of this trip.
Thanks!
No, I think I will stick with tropical, amateur surfing.
It really was a great trip!
Have a blast and I hope you don't end up in a corner again.
I visited the corner, but I didn't need to escape this time.
