Surf Check

HHSurf — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:03:14 +0000

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.

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 !

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

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

HHSurf — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:26:07 +0000

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.

It was truly an international lesson.
