Fun with the groms at Queens, Waikiki. Nice sunset and really fun waves (for October).  

Well the snow birds have arrived in full force for the winter. Waikiki Beach was packed on Sunday! Can’t blame anyone for wanting to spend Christmas here in 80 degree weather.

Don’t let these photos fool you. It’s crazy windy. The large hotels block most of the winds here. The pathway to the iconic Kapahulu Groin. There’s a surf spot directly in front of the wall called…yeah you guessed it…”Walls”. All the kids learn how to boogie board there. They’re having …
