ANOTHER WINDY DAY

IT’S BEEN WEEKS OF STRONG WINDS AND THERE ARE A FEW SPOTS THAT LIKE THE WIND. KAHANA IS ONE OF THEM. THERE ARE SOME SMALL SOFT BEACH BREAKS IN HAWAII. IT’S NICE TO MIX IT UP WITH SOME WAVES LIKE THIS! I’M THANKFUL THAT I CAN JUST PADDLE OUT AND BE IN THE WATER! MAKE THE MOST OF WHAT WE GOT! ALOHA
