My guess is he has dolphin blood!
Such a treat to travel with him and his positive spirit! A small burp into our holidays when Day1 the bottle of water spilled onto my camera and it died… serious bummer. A good friend suggested the Canon Power Shot D10 which I rented for the week and was pleasantly surprised by it’s versatility! For one, it loves the water which makes it ideal when you have a dolphin as a son. The images below were only touched up in Lightroom. The quality is by no means of professional standard but will do just fine for playing around and catching moments that normally would be difficult without proper water housing.

Félix’s excellent eye…

The Aloha spirit is nothing like I’ve experienced before. Sheer kindness and laid back mentality lies deep within the Oahu’nian veins. Even the official and non-official photographers at the Volcan Pipeline Pro were so surprisingly casual. By the way those pro surfers who ride the pipeline are seriously nuts. If the opportunity arises to visit the lovely Karen and her kind spirited Island once more, I would wish to do an essay on the Aloha spirit and their comfort and respect towards their incredible ocean. “Aloha”!
