This is Louie!

He made me laugh!

Gotta LOVE that face!

This is Louie's friend...can't remember his name...

This guy was trained to push his own surf board out until he was deep enough to hop on...perfection!

Watery Wednesday, ABC Wednesday / "Q," "R" and "S"

Click on photos to enlarge!
My husband and I took an 11 day trip to Maui, Hawaii and just returned this past Friday night.

I missed the letters Q & R so I will add them to S for this week.

This is the view we had on a bluff overlooking Ho'okipa Beach on the eastern side of the island.

It is well know around the world among the wind surfing crowd.

It is a place where we like to spend some quality time together...just watching.

Some wind surf.

Some kite surf.

And, others board surf.

Some enter the water from the sandy beach while others prefer climbing over the rocky bluff .

Ready, Set, GO!

What a gorgeous sight it is!
Can quality time get any better than this?

ABC Wednesday

Letters Q, R and S

Watery Wednesday

ABC Wednesday / X and Y

This youthful lifeguard carries an egg-yoke colored life buoy as he keeps a watchful eye on the x-treme surf conditions at the Newport Wedge in southern California this weekend.

The high surf was generated from a storm off of New Zealand, thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean.

ABC Wednesday

The theme is Y this week...

I am including the letter X because I missed it last week.

Some surfing action at the "Wedge" at the Balboa Peninsula, Balboa, California.

I could spend "forever" here...just watching.

Often, the surf is unbelievable!

Some amazing sets came in every 20 minutes or so...

I waited patiently for a shot like this...

...and this.

...this guy is SO good!

I LOVE this!
