Back from the easy island living.  Kept up my 7-8 mile beach cruiser most days.  Surfed everyday.  Surfed until my arms would move the last 3 days.  Last day I paddled out to a bigger North Shore break and managed to snag a couple of 8-10 footers.  Pretty cool, but watching guys pull into 20-25 foot faces makes me realize how far I have to go. 

Couple more pics from the trip:

Looking down on the Kalalau Valley from Kokee State Park.  The Kalalau Trail ends there, down where you can see the waves breaking.  The last section of trail goes through the red dirt area just above the ocean, center right. 

Heading out to the Lolo overlook on an 11 mile loop I ran in Kokee Park.  This section of trail dropped 2000-3000 on both sides of the trail into deep hanging valleys.

 

Looking East down the Napali Coast from the same spot the above pic was taken from.

Looking across to the spot the above pics were taken from.  I was standing on the red dirt section toward the end of the ridge. 

Section of my 7-8 mile daily run.

Steep, fast shore break. Pine Trees, Hanalei Bay. Got some great waves here, got pounded by a few waves here too.

Oh, and an easy 40 minutes on some soggy trail above the house tonight.  Arrggh, sucking sea level wind.
