Waimanalo Beach Cleanup with Old Friends!

This was without a doubt one of my all time favorite beach clean ups!!

When I heard that my friend and former fellow wrestling coach Todd and his family were moving to Oahu I was obviously super excited. Then, when I found out that Todd's young son couldn't stop talking about wanting to get out and help on beach clean ups, well...that was just about more excitement than I could bear!

We got out today in Waimanlo and picked up a vast array of micro plastics, fish traps, oyster spacers, nets and ropes. And Erickson was the total MVP of the day! At one point he grabbed a big section of heavy wet rope, looked up at me and exclaimed, 'Don't worry, I got this' and hauled the whole section out to the street!

Thanks Todd and Erickson for the tremendous day! So inspired by your willingness to move out here and immediately start lending a hand! Great to have you - and greatly looking forward to the next one!
