Aloha! Just found your website and wanted to share some Big Island experience. Im 65 (started surfing in '55 in Waikiki) and wife is 62 (surfer/videographer), we surf almost everyday when there's surf (it is the Big Island!).Here's a couple of pics. I am an avid paddler, and do all the repair work for our canoe club. The first shot is of our koa canoe, carved from 1 log that I have restored, the 2nd shot was taken about 5 years ago, big island secret spot.
Enjoy your blog, you should make one for surfers over 60!

ReplyDeleteI have a surf camp in Panama and I would like to restrict two weeks this summer that are in their 50ies and 60ies only. The dates are August 2-16th. We have 12 surf breaks within a close travel distance from our Panama island surf camp. I just turned 60 myself last month and find I have alot more in common with surfers my age who have a great time catching waves, telling stories of trips to Mex, Central America, etc., Also, listening to good music from the 60ies and 70ies too. I want to set aside two sides for surfers from 50-69 (ok, age 70 too). My website is www.panamasurfcamp.com and I have been running it since 1998. If you are interested, you can send me a message from my website. Steve
