Day 4... North Shore

Just when I thought Oahu couldn't get better...

we met up with my Uncle, Aunt, and cousin Kaile at their beautiful home on the North Shore... to do what else, but surf!

.

Beautiful beach... but rough waters! Nothing my cousin couldn't handle though... she's one tough 6 year old surfer chick. Jeff braved the rough conditions while I sat with my Aunt and Ewan safely on the sand. Or so we thought...
.

Ewan and I were sitting on the shore, waiting for the waves to hit our toes, when we both got pummeled by a huge wave! Poor Ewan came up crying, spitting up salty water and sand.
.
Needless to say, we moved to safer grounds. And spent the rest of the night digging sand out of our ears. :)

Watch the video to see Kaile stand up on her board as my Uncle guides her through the wave...

Then watch the kid in front of us get clobbered by the waves right on the shore... the same waves the took out Ewan and me! :)

After Jeff came in, Ewan wanted to give it a try...

Kaile sharing some of her best suring tips.

Then the sun started to set...
.
And we grabbed our stuff and RAN! We were told we had to hit the the best beach on the North Shore for the sunset...
