Shrimp n' surf......

Today we woke up early to head out to beautiful Turtle Bay located in the upper North Shore of Oahu... There we had a great opportunity to check out more of Area Surf's products at the local shops. "The North Shore Barrel Tees, in particular, have been selling real well out in this area," says founder of AREA Surf Denis Scott. "We're in the works of coming out with several new designs in the near future."

Denis brought along three of his surfboards and gave Mike and I the chance to surf in some gnarly waters.....well... more like baby 2 footer waves...but they were tremendous waves in my mind nevertheless..... Notice with great detail in the following picture how fierce and dangerous the currents were....


 The day couldn't have been more perfect as we stopped off at Giovanni's, the original shrimp truck of Kahuku. Famous for its delicious lemon butter shrimp scampi and garlic rice, Giovanni's is one of North Shore's traditions and is easily one of the most popular eateries in the area....not to mention most delicious...



I couldn't pass up this photo op. While ordering our lunch, I happened to look underneath Giovanni's truck and saw one of most hilarious things... a cat sitting upright with his front paws balancing his body....I mean.. what else can you do in that position but lick yourself and fall asleep... Hawaii must be proud with their mascot....
