Maui Day 6

We had to get up a little early today because we needed to meet up with Buzzy Kerbox for another round of surfing. We needed to be in Lahina by 9 (its about a 30 min drive) so we had a quick breakfast and got on the road. The weather conditions were much better this morning so Shelly, Tony and Buzzy headed out into the ocean. Its pretty crazy because Buzzy takes you pretty far out and you can clearly see whales breaching out in the distance. Buzzy got us into position and soon we where up on our boards and riding some decent size waves. It is much tougher than it looks, especially the paddling out part! After we got the hang of it Buzzy went in to get the kids. Once a couple of good sets (sets of waves) came the kids were up on and riding. We hung out with Buzzy for almost 3 hours and everyone had a really great time.

After surfing we went into Kihei and had lunch at Pita Paradise which was awesome. After lunch John went to the skate park and made friends with a older guy who showed him a few skate moves. After skating we went to the grocery store to pick up a few things and then headed back to the hotel.

Back at the hotel we did the usual pool, beach and socializing with the few SAPers that were still around. Most of them left today and we expect only a few families to be here tomorrow. We met up with one of Tony's teamates and invited them out to dinner with us. We went to Freds Mexican restaurant for Margaritas and Fish Tacos. We knew it was good because we went there last time we were in Maui. We watched the sunset as we waited for our table and then enjoyed a good meal with friends.

We didn't do much after dinner, we just grabbed a icecream sandwhich at the gas station and went home and went to bed. We think the kids were wiped out after all the surfing and pool action. We got to see Shawn Whites halfpipe run and then we passed out.

Until tomorrow....Aloha
