I don't think I've seen as many bodyboarders at the same time at this one spot as I did today. I sure wasn't complaining, especially since most of them were ripping, and besides, who in his right mind would complain about chilling on the beach on a Monday, no less?!?
Happy Memorial Day!

I only brought one lens with me this morning since I had intended to shoot from the water. I ultimately decided not to shoot from the water though since the conditions weren't the best for water shots. Even though the lens that I had brought wasn't anything near a telephoto, I decided to mess around with it on the pier.
Chilling on the pier with my Locals rubbah slippahs. When a baby is born in Hawaii, they're issued a birth certificate and a pair of rubbah slippahs. Haha

The wind was on it from the get go.
I was hoping to catch the tail end of the south swell that we just got. I tried to choose my spot carefully so that I could take advantage of whatever swell was left. While the spot I chose still showed some swell, it was also cloudy/marine layer-ish with a healthy dose of side shore winds. Definitely not what I was hoping for in terms of conditions, but hopefully this is just the first of many good southern swells of the summer.
There really wasn't a lot out there this morning besides clouds and some reforms.
