I knew Makani from my contest days back on Kauai. We connected on the Net, and I found that he was moving back, so we planned to hook up well in advance. He is an extremely fluid and stylish surfer. Guarans local-pro caliber. I was worried about them connecting, but I should've known that it wouldn't be a problem.
Surfers have a common bond that transcends any differences.
The safest call was Diamond Head, so we went for that. However, the Country was seeing an unseasonal swell, and every north-facing beach was firing well overhead. I really look forward to surfing with them more.
