i probably sound like a broken record but today was another awesome day too! spent it all day in the ocean again. sunburnt, tired, but feel so satisfied.

i picked up Koguma-san for a morning surf. the waves were super small everywhere and diamond head was the biggest so that’s where we went. we were super lucky to see the hawaiian monk seal taking a suntan. we caught some fun waves and i was stoked to see Koguma-san ripping the waves out at diamond head. a great surfer and a great guy! after some surfing, we headed in, picked up his family, and went down to the harbor.

boarded my boat, went out to get a panoramic scene of waikiki. it’s always good to go out in the ocean with kids and sharing the natural beauty of hawaii. shaka guys!

Dai-kun is only 10 years old and probably the youngest boat captain in the world. it was his first time driving a boat and he got us back to the harbor safely. good job Dai-kun!

and he also caught his first fish today. super happy to see the kids excitement! so pure!
later this afternoon, i went for a dive outside ala moana and you will never guess what i found. i freaking found a black pearl!!!! i’m not joking! i found a tahitian black pearl in the hawaiian ocean. i bet that is the first ever! so stoked!

ended my day watching the golden hawaiian sun going down in the deep blue ocean. so amazing!

what was Hiyori-chan doing today? she was at the water park enjoying her last day here in hawaii. this looks so fun! we are surely going to miss her. so sad.

With Kogumasan!
Good surfer, good time!
