Lēʻahi
Been fun surfing in town. The mustachioed fish cave brother created for me is working great in a wide range of conditions. (more on that later) Paddled out on the alaia a couple of days ago and was surprised to catch some criticisms from the pack. "What the heck is that thing some kind of paipo board?"
"Uh, well, no it's called an alaia...
"You mean you stand on it?..."
"uhh, yeah...you live in honolulu and you haven't heard of an alaia???..."
"No leash huh...looks kind of dangerous...I'll have to make sure not to be on the inside when you lose it..."
"Yeah, ah well ok I'll try not to..."
I lost it on my first wave.
