Spongy Musical Musubi Sunday

Took the sponge out at the Wall yesterday and surfed for a couple of hours. Waves were coming in sets with a lot of floating and waiting in between. Pretty friendly crew out there. I caught a couple on the inside and then moved out to the outside where the two oldest guys were lined up.

Got a couple of nice walls and was able to drop and trim on my custom Ben Severson bodyboard. End with an El Rollo on one wave and a lip crash on another. Fun session right up until my right calf cramped on my last wave.

Gotta get fit.

Walked around Waikiki a bit afterward, stopping for a happy hour beer and some tunes at Tiki's in the Aston Waikiki Beach Resort. Apparently, it's independently owned, locally. Sonny Kapu was playing music with his mom and a bassist. Mom is Marcia-Marcia-Marcia and she plays a wash-tub bass. Very fun. Great voice on Sonny, too. Talented singer with a great range, singing bluesy stuff, soulful, switching to rap and reggae and even yodeling. Surprisingly fun for a Sunday afternoon show!

Got a red dog musubi at the Food Pantry on Kuhio. Okay, but not as good as the spam musubi. It's nice and weird that spam beats anything out at anything. :)

Kris sent me a picture that must be somewhere out here in the Pacific. If you read my earlier post about my afternoon at the DMV, then you'll understand why I admire the technological innovations demonstrated here:

Early to bed and early to rise today for first day at the new job!
