Yes, we’re still in Kauai.
Visiting Kauai with Kristin is awesome – she knows all the hidden away little waterfalls, best places to view waves, which beaches offer the best sand or most privacy.
Yesterday she drove us to these beautiful falls.
I’ve taken a lot more photos, but haven’t had time yet to sort through and post them… I will as soon as I can.
Today the girls had surf lessons in Hanalei Bay. They had a cute instructor named Teva.
(Chris, I thought of you when I caught a glimpse of him shirtless…. you would have oggled and drooled 🙂 )
The water was quite rough, but they did great! They even rode their boards all the way to shore a few times.
Kris and I watched from the pier, cameras in hand. Ashley may add some video to her site.
Hawaiian Surfing Adventures supplied the sunny yellow rash guards – which was a good thing, because those boards are rough on the skin. All that climbing on and off, kneeling and standing… both girls’ knees are raw, and they have blisters on the tops of their toes. Teva recommended aloe vera.
But it was all worth it. If the waves look good, they may go back out for a few hours on their own tomorrow or Monday before we return home.
Hopefully I wouldn’t be the only one ogling and drooling….surfing is really hard, those girls did wonderfully!
OH! And Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!
I felt a little drool forming when I saw him with his shirt on…feel free to snap one with it off.
Wow, those girls are brave! I’m glad they were able to do so well!!
The girls look great! What a fun time! Anytime they need a surf fix they can come chill at the Gordon house! Kimo is out right now! I tend to swallow a lot of water when out on a board but it is a great feeling just paddling out there! Aloha!
You know that H.K. is there yes??? I got to meet her when I went to help out my mom back in October, what a treat! Thanks for sharing the pics, very nice!
Way to go girls!! It’s no easy feat to stand up on a board much less ride one into shore!! I couldn’t keep my balance the first few times I tried, and that was in Amy and Kimo’s living room!
Looks like a blast! I don’t think that I could keep my balance long enough for anyone to even get a picture of me. So way to go girls!
