Photo by @CristinaMittermeier. On this warm summer morning, children started gathering on the beaches of #Makaha to participate in the Menehune Rell Sun surfing competition. Personal notes: It is humbling to watch the athletic prowess of young Hawaiian surfers and the months @PaulNicklen and I spent in Hawaii #onassignment for @natgeo are some of the best in our lives. Thanks to our #Makahaohana Please #followme at @CristinaMittermeier to see more images of people and nature. @natgeocreative #gratitude #beauty #enoughness #family #surfing #ocean #beauty
