Andrea Moller Teaches Keala

Yesterday was a fun family day down at Guardrails.  Andrea Moller, our MSG instructor, local "Jaws" charger and supermom, continues to coach her 7 year old daughter, Keala, how to rip like her.  Some of our alumni campers can remember Keala taking her first steps at camp at her 1st birthday.  Now look at Keala charging our local break, "Guardrails".

Tsunami Hits Maui

Check out this incredible footage of Japan's tsunami that washed up on Maui's shores last night. Here's the aftermath in Lahaina harbor this morning. Maui Surfer Girls was in the middle of all the action aboard the Maui Princess, moored 1/2 mile from Lahaina breakwall. Thankfully everyone in Maui was safe and sound. Our thoughts and prayers goes out to the victims of Japan's worse tsunami in their history.

 

 

Luna Skates For Food

The one and only, Luna - has charmed many hearts with her incredible surfing talents...but these days, she's been perfecting her skateboarding skills through the neighborhood.  I swear she's obsessed with any board she can jump on.

Luna started surfing and stand up paddleboarding at 4 months old, skateboarding at about 5 months old and skimboarding at 6 months old.  We stopped letting her skateboard through the neighbourhood because her piercing puppy barks became a nuisance in the neighborhood.  So after investing in a bark collar, Luna is now silenced and has been skating with me through the streets of Waikapu Gardens for excersize and enjoyment.  

As a surf coach, I love watching my students progress in the sport.  Now with Luna, I can't believe how amazing it's been to help a dog progress in so many board sports.  The other day, we tandem skated a small hill in my neighborhood, banked a turn, and even carved a bit together while sharing the small deck of my skateboard.  When we started skating together, she couldn't stop barking at the wheels and biting the grip tape.  Now she jumps on, like she's hopping onto my surfboard, and hangs 20 on the front of my longboard skateboard. Our afternoon walks just transformed into skateboard sessions...great excersize for Luna, while I get a tow through the neigborhood.
