From the Northshore to the Ko'olau Summit

Last weekend I spent with friends on the North shore on Saturday.  I tried to surf some Ehukai but the conditions weren't the best.  Was windy, 6-8 ft washing machine in the morning.  I caught a few waves and headed in and went over to V-land to hang out with some of Katie's friends.  We chatted a bit and then headed over to Kahuku Superette to eat some poke.  After that we went to Waimea to boulder a little.  My friends Ross and Jason hopped in at Waimea catching some monster 6ft shorebreak.  I was a little hesitant at first but eventually I made my was into the water to shoot them surfing. 
The day didn't end there, Cory and Kaiser decided to come down and boulder a little and after they finished we made our way to Sunset bunkers where we ate some food and enjoyed the view.

No one on this one. 


The day after we decided to hike up to the summit using a lesser known trail in Nu'uanu.  We saw a few waterfalls and made our way to the summit.  When our group reached the top we met up with Ahnate, the person that did the whole Waianae summit in one trek.  The group made there way to a few ridges over and took some pictures on some native plants and came back.  I on the other hand went and came back and chatted a bit with Ahnate.  We talked about our hiking journey's around the island.  He talked about his trek on the Waianaes. 
Sooner than later the group was back and we made our way back to our cars and ended our journey.  I was beat after this long weekend and slept in on Monday!  

Enjoy the pics and video!
