Not so perfect waves, but a perfect day!

waves weren't the best but all the kids were at kewalos today enjoying another beautiful day. i took out my camera and started snapping some shots of what these kids do when they are not surfing.

from left: derek, kapu, alyssa, cody. just hanging out, don't know what kapu was doing...

sister and derek.

kapu brought out a marker and started sniffing like he wanted to get high off of it. man, kapu's one strange guy... nah, he's a cool kid.

here are some of the younger kids. from left: shun, seth, kaulana, josh. again, kapu's doing who knows what in the back. i don't think derek knew he was in the photo. ha ha

kids + marker = tagging on each other's bodies. here's kapu attacking seth.

seth and kaulana tag each others foot and kaulana tagged himself with some cool looking flames on his legs.

shun started tagging in japanese! shun's pretty much one of the gangs now. they can't communicate with words but they were all laughing hanging out all day.

i started packing my cooler when i go down to kewalos 'cuz some of these kids are there all day and i know they get thirsty. kids attacking the cooler!

kapu disappeared for a while and came back with a coconut. football hawaii style! ha ha

i went out and surfed for little bit while kids were on land playing. as soon as they started padding back out, i was done. i can't compete against these guys. they never get tired!! so instead of paddle battling i grabbed my camera to shoot some action in the water.

here are kids' biggest fans and supporters! well, and brandon (kuakini) in the middle. he was showing them his nasty cut on his leg. these parents are amazing! they are alway bring the kids to surf even on the weekdays and they don't even live in town. no wonder why these kids surf so well. it's always nice to see parents who are so involved with their kids. i hope the kids realize how lucky they are one day.

cass (kuakini) got all excited when i swam out there with my camera. ha ha

cass has been surfing really well these days. it's amazing how these kids get so much better at surfing almost everyday!

seth is usually the youngest and the smallest one in the water but he surfs way better than lot of the guys out in the water.

alyssa was out there having fun too. pose to the camera! ha ha
showing the boys how it's done!

matty's backside attack! talk about being vertical, this is as vertical as you can get.

waves weren't the best but another great day at the beach. it's time to hit the shower!
