good morning. same junky waves like yesterday but much smaller. some surfers are calling it the worst winter ever. i think it’s pretty bad but it ain’t over yet… i still have hope and i still want to get barreled so i’m thinking positive. you should too….

this was laniakea at 6:20pm last evening. junky….

check out this shochu bottle with gold flakes inside. cool… it was a present from kimura-san for tony and tammy. after they drink it, they are going to turn into gold. serious…

another present from kimura-san brought from japan. it’s called shu-cream. whoever eats it is going to get fat. serious…

now this is serious. i took this photo when i was at the hospital when masato got hurt. it was a really nervous time for me. CAT scan is a serious thing and waiting for the results is nerve racking. thanks goodness everything turned out ok…

and last, ALOHA FROM HAWAII….

good windy evening. nothing to talk about in surf because the waves are just crappy all over the island. i seen a couple of kite surfers out at sunset beach but that’s about it. got a lot of things done today so feeling good. tomorrow same thing. have a great sleep and surf your dream…

yesterday i saw ben aipa when i was eating breakfast. then i stopped by wade tokoro’s place to talk story. today i stopped by eric arakawa’s place to say hello. then right after, i stopped by glenn minami’s place. gosh, i talked to 4 of the worlds most famous shapers in the past 2 days. that’s pretty cool….

i’ve know eric arakawa since i started surfing. tony introduced me to him and ever since than, i always respected him as one of the worlds best…

my boards are so precious that i let them sleep on my bed at the go-naminori house. i sleep on the floor…. by the way, check out my new toy. yeah, a 115cm beuchat marlin gun with reel. i got a deal online. i’m getting ready for a boat trip and getting ready to spear big fish. life is good…

and last, check out the new design from TSSC. yeah, those are real strawberries and oranges. i was just talking to yasan about it and asked if i can put a fish on my fish. get it??? for more info, CHECK OUT TSSCSURF.COM….
**and last, wanted to wish go-naminori bloggers hayato maki and yoko furuichi a safe flight home yesterday. see you all in japan really soon….

Rainbow to the North Shore…
