Day 4 (and Final) in Oahu

Day 4: Surfs Up!

Surfing Waikiki

Today was all about doing the classic surf of Waikiki, we got blue skies but not the best waves today; mostly only little short-lived guys. But that did not deter us! The copious rock formations however, those cut my surf trip a little short. At the end of my first stand up I bailed and landed directly on a patch of decently sharp rocks. Thankfully, I had fallen feet first, and left with only a couple banged up toes, and a renewed awareness of my surroundings. It still proved to be a nice refresher of surfing. This was also the first time I've surfed in warm water, and it was quite a nice change! No wet suit dance required.

BURN UPDATE: in a world that has proven consistently to not be "tall people friend", I have once again endured injury due to my height, or rather, my length. The stylish rashy I donned for this experience was not quite long enough. And due to its black colour, attracted all sun to my wrists. The thing about wrist burns is, you can't really hide them from the sun once you've gotten them. Seriously considering investing in some nice arm sweat bands.

We've taken to relaxing and escaping the sun for the rest of the day. Trying one more of the local delicacies, Hula Dog.

As our 11 hour flight is tomorrow, we opted not to risk making our burns any worse with a hike. Melbourne right now is about 20 degrees which will suit me just fine. Hopefully this clear weather follows us Down Under!

Well Hawaii, you've been a treat, and I'm sure I'll be back in no time! But its onto the main event: Oz!
