Surf Check

Surfline morning report for Wednesday Nov 18 at 7:30 AM: Surf is 2-3 ft + - waist to stomach high with occasional 4 ft. and fair to good . **Reef Hawaiian Pro is ON** AM REGIONAL OVERVIEW: Northerly swell is filling in nicely this morning with some solid waves rolling in if you are patient and know where to look. Waves are in the waist to shoulder high range with the more northerly exposed areas seeing sets in the shoulder to head high+ range. Gusty trade winds are blowing to provide typical side to offshore conditions for northern shorelines today. There looks to be a little more west in the swell today than the first day of competition but it is still predominantly north. However, there are some constestable waves rolling in so looks the competitors will have some fun.

Richard and Joseph: A Week of Surfing

Six year old Joseph came surfing at Hans Hedemann Surf School for one week on lessons.  His instructor was Richard.  It was great see too Joseph go from a timid little boy into a confident surfer boy.

This photo was actually 3 days into the lessons.

Love the confidence.

So COOL !!!

Joseph is looking confused about where his instructors head is >>>

Having fun !

Surf Instructors Richard and James with 2 FLYING boys.

Party Wave >>>  Joseph made friends with other kids who came surfing during the week.

I think that Richard had as much fun as Joseph during their week of surfing together.

Visiting Surf Instructor: Jade

Jade Tindle came out to Hawaii for a few weeks to escape the clutter of California.  He has been instructor for the Paskowitz Surf School and has done a lot of volunteer work for Surfer’s Healing.

We were stoked to get an experienced waterman to come out and teach some surf lessons at HH Surf.

Very statuesque cross-step

Switch-foot on a clean day in Waikiki

Jade teaching a young surfer the thrill of catching waves

Summer swell in on the South Shore of Oahu.  I like the way Jade’s hair is flying in the wind.

He made this wave too >>>>

Jade you are welcome back to Hans Hedemann Surf School anytime.

Mahalo for your hard work and great attitude.

12 Noon Lesson: Couples Only

Hans Hedemann Surf School has lessons 3 times a day everyday of the year. For some reason our noon lesson had all couples.

Our instructors took it upon themselves to make their time with us extra special. Not only did everyone catch waves, they caught them together AND holding hands.

A couple from Texas on their first trip to Hawaii.

It was truly an international lesson.

Make great memories at HH Surf.
