Benthic Monitoring in Waikiki

Do you think we have enough boards?  No I don't think we have enough boards!  Hahahahaha!  Most of the boards in this photo are Ryan's.  I think there are five in here that are mine, and there are five more that I have at home that aren't in this photo!  Together, we have A LOT of boards!!!

This is the surboard rack that I found for free on Craig's List . I thought it would be perfect for all of our boards!!!  We just had to strengthen it a bit with some bracers and we removed the bottom plywood, and it was good to go!

Just right!  And we even have a little room for a few more!

We stopped at Haleiwa and they were building the wall for the Triple Crown Event!

There was this surfboard in the office that I really really wanted to try out!!!!  It's a Tokoro!  But it was a prize giveaway and the guy that won it came to pick it up.  And the horrible thing is, he said he doesn't surf!  He should'a gave it to meeeeee!!!!
