Thanks Angela. I'm ready for more surfing. I did get a number of good complete runs in afterward where I dropped to the word when the wave expired. The interesting and encouraging thing about it was that when you are on the board right it feels very stable and maneuverable. I need practice. Anyone with a BIG wave pool?

I played a guy there for $200 a hole and guess what? I won all 18..We tied a few but I always won the following holes so I got all the money. Almost 4k. A complete shut out. It was a jap and when I was done I put my hands together bowed and said "Flawless victory" in my best japanese accent...He thought he was good but the little guy was no match for my mind games..Once we decided to play I never spoke another word to him until it was over, and at the end he refused to shake my hand...We went right to Jamesons by the Sea bar for apitizers and beer.

Went tot the swap meet where we acquired a delightful bronze turtle sculpture and leather bracelets with our name in Hawaiian written on them. From there it was off to Boots & Kimo's for lunch celebration involving pancakes and Macadamia nut sauce along with a Boots & Kimo's Hawaiian shirt. Then visited a few beaches and stopped off at Ted's bakery. Later we had dinner at the Turtle Bay Resort while watching the action on their Arnold Palmer golf course. They made a delicious swordfish for me. Afterwards we stopped at Sunnset beach to take in the sunset. The real action took place the next morning when the two girls and I took our surfing lessons. Now that had to be the highlight of the trip.
vl, Holly posted close to 5 or 600 pictures of our trip on fb, so there is really no need for me to post more except forthose who do not use fb
You are the one who was most responsible for making it so memorable and for encouraging me to try surfing. I really did think that was most enjoyable, though I did get a little banged up. lol THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart gorgeous.
