The past few weeks the wind has finally died down, so we have been able to do some pretty good paddleboarding. We like to do the Hawaii Kai to Kahala run which is about 5 miles downwind. There are some pretty amazing houses that are right on the water.
The more wind you have on this run, the better. When you get about 20-15 mph wind, you don’t even have to paddle! You just let the wind take you 
Sometimes you happen to run into some pretty shallow areas, especially when it’s low tide. Kate has had a little issue navigating thru these areas.
Someone needs to tell her this isn’t the way to ride the board
This past week, we happened to have a stow away. It’s G! We’re still waiting for him to learn how to ride the waves.
We also got to take the boards up to the north shore at both Sunset beach and Hale’Iwa. It was pretty cool to be paddling around where the waves were up to 50 feet high a few months ago. I was even able to catch a wave or two! We even had a surprise of seeing a few whales breaching off in the distance. We thought it was way past prime time to see the whales. So that was a pretty nice surprise.
When we paddled around Hale’Iwa, we took the boards under the bridge, down the river. We never knew that the river went about a mile back. There were some pretty nice houses and even some peacocks.
We have also been taking the boards to Waikiki to try and catch some waves (and not be yelled at by the locals). In the past few days, I was finally able to get the ever difficult picture of Kate catching a wave
