Wherever you may be and no matter your circumstances, may you have the merriest Christmas and a wonderful new year. As they say in the islands, Mele Kalikimaka and Hau'ole Makahiki Hou!

I'd Rather Be Surfing...

This is one of those great big long boards that you see on Waikiki beach. Most of them are for the surf school. This one is for the lifeguards. You can see the straps on there so people can hang on to them and/or get strapped down if they can't. Nice to know those boards are at the ready.

Hibiscus Surfboards

These are the hibiscus surfboards at the board rental place on Waikiki Beach, Hawaii. They are big, heavy and stable for the newbies and have that extra happy hibiscus flair to them. They also made a nice picture.
