people wonder what is my favorite food is? it’s sashimi and sushi. last night, i was treated to one of the best and freshest dinners i’ve even eaten in hawaii. this is called the moriwase sashimi platter. it was filled with the best sashimi in the world.

my favorite was the lobster, clam, crab, abalone, and toro. it all melted in my mouth!

then the sushi came out. hamachi, maguro, tako, tamago, and spicy tuna rolls. i ate until my stomach got as big as it gets.

last was the uni and ikura. i think this is the best sushi restaurant in hawaii and not too many people know where it is. i’ll keep it a secret for a little while more.

my friend Brandon is always working on a project. this one is nuts! he’s building a palace on wheels. complete with a kitchen, bed, toilet, a/c, tv, dvd, internet, and much more. when it’s done, i’m going to park it at the beach and live in it for a month.

wow, how good were the waves yesterday afternoon? the morning was super small so when we went for an afternoon session, i was expecting knee high windy waves. but when we pulled up to the beach, the waves were head high and perfect. warm weather and it felt like summer officially started! thanks Mike for the evening surf report and photo from Kewalo’s.

i haven’t touched my camera in a long time. i still remember those days i use to shoot every single day. just stockpiling photos on my hard drive and saving it like treasure. then my sister started getting into photography so she’s archiving the family surf history now. i can take a break while she stays up for hours and hours uploading photos all night long. haha. here she is with Nage on the north shore 2 seasons ago.

and i shot this of my nephew Josh Moniz and Gen. 2 years ago, they were scared of backdoor. they use to paddle out only on the small days. but now, these kids are getting the best barrels out there on the biggest days. i like this photo because it shows 2 boys becoming 2 men.
last, wanted to wish all you mother’s out there a happy mother’s day. all you ladies are awesome!
