We returned last week from a great trip to Hawaii. We played against the University of Hawaii over 3 days while we were there. They were ranked #41 last year and we managed to beat them decisively all 3 days. Over the 3 day period we won 27 of the 32 matches we played! The rest of the photos from the trip are posted on the BYU Men's Tennis facebook page.
Here are the guys practicing the day before the matches began. It was quite an adjustment with the altitude, heat & humidity! side note: The guys really are quite buff this year, but everytime I pull out the camera a lot of flexing starts going on, so don't let them completely fool you!
We stopped at Matsumoto's for shaved ice!
We were able to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center. I always make sure, whenever we have an opportunity that the guys get their cultural lessons in. The guys especially enjoyed the fire dancers at the night show!
With a guy from Tonga!
With their BYU Hawaii approved tattoos.
Thomas with his mom who lives in Honolulu!
Here we are with the manager of the hotel checking in.His daughter is a student at BYU.
Thomas on our balcony! Enjoying the view!
We were able to visit Pearl Harbor. At first not all of the guys were overly enthusiastic about spending the time to go there, but I told them that I could not face their mother's if we were all the way in Hawaii and they didn't go. So we made the trip and everybody really enjoyed it.
The guys body surfing. We were practically the only people at the beach this day.
One of the highlights of the trip was this game of football they all played on the beach!
Still friends after the game!
International Market Place in Honolulu! 
The day we flew out all of the guys decided to get up REALLY early and take a surfing lesson. As they were being taught the proper form, I had quite a few people come up to me and say that all of these guys looked like athletes and ask who they were. 
Heading out to try the waves. They had a little crowd up watching them!
Here they are with their teacher Virgil. I am proud to say that every single member of the team (and both coaches) were successful surfing.
Thomas & Cassidy playing doubles.
And most important....The after match victory talk!
