Been a while - I think I'll start this up again

In Kauai - amazing place for sure.  Caught a lot of waves the other day, it is amazing that I have purposefully avoided the Hawaiian Islands until now.  I remember my high school friends telling me that some locals hassled them.  I didn't need that, I preferred to go elsewhere.  Interesting that at age 41, I'm not worried about being hassled as much anymore.  The pride is gone, the ego is a shadow of what it was.  Surfing the waves the other day was easy, coming out of deep water.  I have the data to prove it...  Oh and I got partially hassled...
