I'm officially home now, but I thought I'd fill you guys in on all of the adventures, here goes....
The first thing you need to do when you get to Hawaii is crack open a fresh coconut! Here I am drinking a fresh coconut while watching Pipe from the Billabong house.
The beautiful valley at Hanalei Bay on Kauai, one of my favourite places on all of the earth and on the beach here Samdog and I got engaged.
mmmmargeritas at the the Billabong house..so lush
Do you think this is enough surfboards for two people, well guess again this is only half of it. First thing this week..check into the chiropractor after lugging board bags around for nearly a month!
The view from my bedroom..ahhh take me back now.
The taxi driver told me he had a history with traffic accidents....excellent.
Launch of the collaboration at the Billabong house on the first day of Pipe, totally insane experience.
I lost my sunglasses at Waikiki and got them back hours later..I know it's a miracle, this wasn't even a busy day.
Pipe on a smaller day.
Sharks Cove on the north shore, I've sold many boards here. The thing I've found about Hawaii is that no matter how big the boards are that I take over I always seem to need bigger ones, scarey.
Seriously..I never got sick of the palm trees can you tell.
Where history is made, dreams are achieved and broken, and ambulances are busier than ever.
The view from our room in Waikiki.
Acai bowls at BeetBox cafe, Haleiwa....mm heaven.
Sunset at KeIki
Hawaiian style, everyone has to get lei'd, sorry i had to slip that one in.
The view from the house on the second day of the contest.
Waikiki
Ancient trees at Waimea Falls ie. Jurassic park.
more cocktails.
On the beach at pipe after the contest.
Well I promise you that this is officially the last major Hawaii post that I'll be doing. There's something about the light there that turns you into a crazy photo obsessed tourist! It's good to be home now but it won't be long until I get itchy/sandy feet again and have to head on another trip somewhere.
I hope you guys enjoy and I can't wait to share more adventures with you this year. I'd also like to say a big thank you to all of you for your love and support it's so surreal Oracle Fox reached 10 000 followers on bloglovin this week.... a massive 'mahalo'.
