good evening. kenji sahara called me this morning and told me that the waves on the north shore was shitty. so hayato and i decided to join kyle and james for a blue water adventure….

10 miles out to see, we jumped in for our first dive. i’m guessing 1000′ feet deep with just us and the sharks. it was hayato’s first blue water adventure and i could imagine how he was freaking. jumping into the deep blue, throwing dead saba in the water, and waiting for something to come up. and you never know what will come up. i’m glad he was on the boat when the hungry shark started eating the chum….

we dove the deep, then came into the shallow for reef fish… mix bag of good fish…

this is my first “ono” or sawara. it’s not that big but it’s a keeper. sashimi is on the menu for this week… in my right hand are “goats”. the most expensive fish in hawaii…

straight from kaneohe pier to imanas izakaya on king street. team okinawa, team yamari, and team kinsan. what an awesome dinner… hayato and i were freezing our asses on the boat today so the first thing we ordered was “hot tea”…. then sashimi, then chanko nabe, then beers, then shochu… you don’t even know how tired i am right now. i can’t even believe i’m doing my blog….

sashimi moriwase. ama ebi, maguro, hamachi, uni, tai, salmon, awabi, and mirugai. it was soooooo good……
**back to kenji sahara. i heard later today from kinsan that the waves on the north shore was epic!! kenji told everybody not to tell me that he gave me the wrong report. kenji is lucky i caught fish today. if i didn’t, i would never forgive him… haha… payback is a bitch… good night….

it’s so amazing how different the weather can be in different places at the same time. north shore was cloudy and overcast yesterday morning. and ala moana was freakin paradise. where ever the sun is, you will find me… by the way, the waves at bowls was pretty dam fun. chest high and long ass rides. and uncrowded. wish you were there…

i have a couple sets of diving equipment. i usually leave one in japan and one in hawaii. now i have one more in hawaii. i don’t want to miss that golden day so one set will be at my house in town, and the other set will be going to the go-naminori house on the north shore. so to all my diving buddies, i’m freaking ready for anything, anytime, anywhere. let’s go poke squid….

the story i made up yesterday was a little lie. well, you really can’t call a dream a lie right? haha.. that harley davidson was being rented for a day to the japanese couple sitting on the bike. they are professional dancers in japan. not the kind at femmnu, they are professional ball room dancers. next time i go to chiba, i’m going to take lessons from them. then i’m going to go to a club in town and bust out my moves. stay away, john travolta is back!! the guy in the back is morikawa-san from chiba. we had a super fun session at bowls. and get this, i actually did a hang five on a longboard. i’m going for ten next time… have a nice day….

good evening. what an awesome sunday. adventure, adventure, and adventure…

i had this harley davidson motorcycle in my garage since i was 18 years old. every weekend, i’d sit there for hours polishing it and taking good care of it. it’s my baby and i was waiting for the perfect day to take it on the road and drive around the island. so when i seen the sunny skies this morning, i knew it was the day…. i bought it a long time ago for $8,000 with my savings from working at the gas station. now, i bet it’s worth a lot more. you guys can see, but no touch…

then i stopped by in kahuku and met this cute vietnamese girl. she was whistling to my while i was riding my harley. so yeah, i stopped because i knew she wanted to check out my bike. i gave her a ride around the block and then she invited me to her home and made me the best pho i’ve ever eaten. it was so dam good. by the way, those are goat balls in there…

then i threw her on my bike and headed back to town. i really wanted to show her how good i surfed so i pulled up to kewalos, borrowed one of the boys shortboards, and pulled into stand up barrels busting airs on the end section all day long. what an awesome day….
**then i woke up….
