Afternoon Sail

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 03:39:00 GMT

Join Eric, Dan, Roxy and Kai for an afternoon sail on the Holole'a. I got a sailing rig and polas set up for my Opelu OC-4, and she is a blast to sail. Thursday, 2 July, was a beautiful day, and Holole'a took us on a short cruise through Lanikai and Kailua. Enjoy.

Got the sail rig up on the Opelu. It WORKS!... Too bad I broke the mount an hour later... A few small repairs, and we'll be back in business!

Help I'm a Fish

Mon, 25 May 2009 22:11:00 GMT

We went to to visit Nancy and Dave at their Waikiki resort on Saturday. We being Kai and me, as Stace was at canoe practice. Nanc and Dave were staying at the Waikiki Sheraton, and it has an AWESOME pool (Stace and I read about it in the papers and saw it on the news when it first opened). It has a waterfall and water slides, and it's salt water, so NO CHLORINE! Kai has been out of the water for a couple weeks recovering from her pneumonia, so she was primed and ready to go swimming. And swimming she went! She was the fishiest fish EVER! Stace told her she couldn't get her face wet because she was still getting over her pneumonia... So, the first thing she did was ask if she could go under water. From there she asked to swim to Nancy. Then she swam to Dave. She swam to daddy, she swam to the steps. She swam everywhere!

SUP 19April09

Mon, 11 May 2009 02:43:01 GMT

This is the first time taking the GoPro out on the SUP... Perfect, glassy day in Kailua. Well, almost perfect. We could have used some surf... There was a very small bump from the ENE, so there is at least a little to see. Ever wonder what happens to the stuff you lose surfing or paddling? Check out the end of the video to see...

Beach Walk 730 Kaile Paddle to Flat Island

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 16:03:04 GMT

Kaile is a regular visitor on Beach Walks, and she always brings a smile. Her dad Eric has been teaching her all about Hawaiian water sports, and so far she loves them all! In this episode, she paddles a 20' long one man outrigger canoe by herself, then hops on the back to head out to Flat Island and do some canoe surfing. We've got great music too, by Creamy.dk, a girl band from Denmark. Visit their MySpace page. We found them on the Podsafe Music Network.

Pau Hana

Sat, 21 Feb 2009 08:24:00 GMT

My first movie. It is called Pau Hana, because it was filmed on a Friday following an early dismissal from work (Aloha Friday). I start with my Pueo OC-1 at Kalama Beach Park in Kailua and go to Flat Island, where I catch a small wave. I then go to Lani Kai and run into Kaile who is playing with Mommy and Auntie Rox. I take her for a short spin, and then head out to the Mokes. From the Mokes I go back to Kalama, wash the boat and take it home. "It's good to get off work early". The music is Kaimoku, "Honolulu Shuffle".
