MALAMA KE KAI (Cherish the Sea)
So since it is and there is still no wind, I have been doing some more surfing, the waves were bigger yesturday but since we had had the extra day of practice it was not a problem... I managed to stand up quite often and fall over much less so! When we finshed the sun was setting and all the locals had come to go surfing after work on a friday evening...
Sadly this means that if you get in their way they come and shout at you since it is their birth rite of having fun surfing... however it was at least made up for by this girl who came and made some suggestions to me about how to paddle faster (and therefore catch more waves) before carrying on to do somewhat better than the bloke who had got so stressed with me.
Surfing here is a bit like skiing in the Alps, you are doing your best, and then some 8 year old shoots past you with total ease...
