good morning. 5:45am and the waves on the north shore are going off!!! 3-5′ and looking pretty dam good. backdoor? velzyland? rocky’s? i think everywhere will be good. it’s pitch dark but i see 2 guys out and 6 people on the beach waiting for first light. see you all out there. have a nice day!!!
**just wanted to take this time to say hello to everybody over there in aomori. i had fun times and great memories with all of you. hope to see you soon!!! keep warm and please stay away from the tequilla!! haha….

thank you hitomi-san for sending me this photo the other day. tell syoji-san i said hello and hope to see you guys soon. body board ganbatte ne!!!

remember this photo. this was taken in shikoku at the TSSC Users contest after party on april 10, 2005. what a great time we had!!!

and last, i spent 2 days trying to find a good suitcase. when i bought mine about 6 years ago, it costed me $145. the new ones these days cost $400-500. that’s crazy. why would i spend that much when my stuff inside is only worth $100? i’ll just tape mine back together and use it for another year. no worry, be happy!!![:????????$B!r(B:]

good evening. i checked queen’s this morning and was surprised to see a small south swell. headed straight to bowls and it was fun. shoulder high and really consistent with none of the boys out. sunny, clean, and fun…

i love going to china town. the first think i look at is the fish. the funny thing is the fish doesn’t look too fresh for some reason. if that’s fresh fish, the fish we catch are fresh fresh fish? i guess you can’t get it any fresher than that….

today was the first time i saw this fruit. it’s small and taste exactly like lychee… so sweet…. hikaru-san called it “chibi lychee”. that’s exactly what it looked like, and tasted like…

we stopped by yogurt land and guess what the flavor of the month was? yup, Lychee…. i got a bowl with kiwi fruit and mochi for toppings… so good….

and kalua is looking tastier than ever today. this pig is freaking huge!!! can’t believe it…

hikaru-san couldn’t believe kalua was only a little over 2 years old. neither do i…. yes, this is kalua 2 years ago…. who the heck’s been feeding him????
**last, check out kairi and reika’s youtube video. pretty killer footage. great job kids….

Bowls 2′ and Fun….. South Swell Saiko….
