we surfed Bowls but Diamond Head looked really good too. but for me, it’s a too long hike, and a too long paddle. i’m getting lazy. haha.

if you watched Hawaii Skin Diver TV this month, you would have seen this video of Kyle, Brent, and I catching this ono. it seemed like years ago but it was pretty recent.

team work is key in fishing. Kyle with the gaff.

catching the fish is the easy part, cleaning the boat is the hard part. too much maintenance in fishing so that’s why i have no urge to do it again. maybe on somebody else’s boat? haha.

when ever i hunt, all i think about is the wonderful fresh dinners ahead. ahi fever season is pretty much done in hawaii so i’m going to oil my fishing poles and put them in the closet.

there is an art to anything, including a wipeout. Yuki-san charges big waves and when things go wrong, she knows exactly what to do. jump to the side, hold on to your hat, and protect your head. this is the safest way to wipeout and we can all learn from this photo. wipeout safe!

i was driving up kapahulu avenue when i seen 2 shiny buns glaring in my sunglasses. i get closer and found out this girl was on the back of a motorcycle wearing a thong!!! OMG! 10 years ago you could get arrested for something like this. nowadays, it’s pretty much normal. welcome to paradise. haha!
