Sunday was a nice, sunny day out at Makapuu beach. It was the day after the official start of Spring, so the great weather brought out enough people to fill the water and much of the sand. While sun bathers caught rays, body surfers and boarders like myself got to catch fun waves in 1-2, occasional 3 footers (dodging nasty shore breaks) with a steady flow of sets constantly rolling in. The water had a lot of seaweed, which is way better to have than Portuguese man-of-wars, but felt similar so it was freaky at first. Para-gliders were in effect as usual, this time gliding directly overhead, and one female got swept out pretty far by the current that had everyone looking. She managed to come back in by herself, wheeew!
I was trying to get a tan and of course got burned, but that's all a part of the fun too. Going to Makapuu was a great way to start off Spring break AND birthday week (3-23).
Well,time to Partay!
ooh makapuu is beautiful...as long as there aren't a ton of tourists there. that's the worst feeling. -_-
