Birthday Sail!

Administrator — Sat, 15 May 2010 22:40:01 +0000

Ocho de Mayo was my 39th birthday, and since it was MY day, I got to do what I wanted, and what I wanted was what I always want…a day at the beach (so in actuality, it wasn’t a lot different from any other weekend). Fortunately, the weather was perfect for sailing. It was blowing snot and the surf was up. I was all set to make a great movie, but brought the wrong mount for the mast-top-cam… Oh well, next time. The footage I got is still fun, and I hope you enjoy it, it’s been a LONG time since I’ve made a movie. This one is especially fun, because I finally got Stace and I in the same movie. A couple more years, and Kai will be able to come out, too!

Mele Kalikimaka!

Aloha, and Mele Kalikimaka!
The winter solstice has passed, the days are getting longer, and 2009 is almost gone. I really wanted to get a picture of us all in the canoe for our Christmas card… Yesterday, we finally had some time where our schedules lined up, and the sun hid behind the clouds the whole time we were out (fortunately, it popped out and the lighting was perfect right after we put the canoe away…). Shane was nice enough to come take the pictures for us, even though I’m sure he had a million other things he would have rather been doing. We’re glad he did, though, because he really does an awesome job! Thanks a million Shane (and Roxy!). We couldn’t decide which picture to put on our Christmas card, so we made this little video to showcase our favorites. We hope you enjoy it.
Hau’ole Makahiki Hou!

What a Beautiful Family!

Stace and I went to the Marine Corps Ball, and Kai stayed with Aunty Rox and Uncle Shane. Shane has a relatively new camera, is REALLY GOOD at capturing awesome images, and was kind enough to come document the fact that Stace and I know how to dress up. He is quite the photog, no? The next morning, Veteran’s day, we were greeted with blustery but beautiful weather and met up with Rox, Shane and Kai at the canoe (Picutres of the canoe coming in another post…). Those are the best “beach time” pictues we have! Enjoy.

You're the one for me!

Shaka to you!

OC-4 at the Mokes!

OC-4 Surfin’! Join in the fun as Mike takes Derek, Stacey and Eric out for a few waves at the Mokes. This was my first ride in an OC-4, and now I NEED one! That thing is FUN!

I called Mike to ask about OC-4′s and get some info on what to buy / where / who from / used canoes / etc. He responded with “you wanna take one out?”. HELL YEAH I DO!! So we did. Mike borrowed the boat from his friend Robin, and we headed out (thanks Robin!). We dropped the cooler on the Mokes and then launched for the surfing you see below. I wanted to do some cool tricks, but am lacking in the skill department… Derek pulled some head stands, but his head blocked the camera, so they didn’t make the video. Following the fun, Mike let me steer back to Lanikai. I need some practice, but first I need to get a boat…

Barney Boat Surf

Administrator — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 05:52:09 +0000

Join Stacey for a little trip on the “Barney” boat, nicknamed due to it’s purple manu (endpieces) and mo’o (gunwales). Push off Lanikai beach with Mike at the helm, and ride along for an OC-6 surf at the Mokes. The video only shows one wave, but they were surfing for over an hour before the end. We won’t get into what happened there, as that is another story… Enjoy the ride.
