Barack Obama spotted shirtless as he paddleboards solo in the Pacific during Hawaiian trip
Former POTUS Barack Obama still has the swagger and it was proved when he was recently spotted paddleboarding shirtless on a Hawaiian vacation with wife Michelle Obama. As soon as his picture started doing the rounds, his fitness and well-built physique caught many eyeballs.
After he left the White House in 2017, he has managed to retain much rest and relaxation and has been spending time with his close ones. Over New Year's, the 58-year-old was clicked while relishing a hot afternoon of paddleboarding in his home state of Hawaii. He was seen in just a pair of boardshorts as he hit the surf.
While he was found to be solo on the beach, reports say he has been on the island of Oahu for the holidays with his wife, former First Lady Michelle Obama, and their daughters, Malia, 21, and Sasha Obama, 18, since December 16.
It is believed that the pair enjoyed a night on the town in the trendy neighborhood Kakaako, where they hosted a dinner for family and friends at Ya-Ya’s Chophouse and Seafood.
Barack’s sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng and her family joined the couple, and a few lucky restaurant employees and patrons also got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take pictures with Michelle.
Reportedly, Obama gave a pleasant surprise to a woman named Andrea Jones visiting the Marine Corps Base Hawaii Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course on December 19. Approaching her in his typical manner, the former president asked if he could hold her three-month-old niece, Riley Lewis. A clip captured during their meeting shows Barack saying, “Come on, baby. Who’s this cutie pie?” and gives her a huge kiss on the forehead.
Even as he is almost ready to hit 60, he looks perfectly fit and his frame is identical to his older pictures when vacationed in Hawaii back in 2008.
