hayato and i are crazy. well, that’s what everybody’s been tell me after i told them we went diving today. extreme? desperate? hard core? or plain stupid? none of the above. we just wanted to dive so we went diving. pretty simple. so we ignored the high wind warning and every other kind of warning and went surfing diving. yeah, we grabbed longboards, paddled 2 miles straight out to sea, and dove all morning….

will all this rain we’ve been having, the mountains are as green as it gets. this mountain is usually brown but not now. this is what i call “the calm before the storm”….

don’t let this photo fool you. at one point, we were so far out that you couldn’t even see the houses on the beach. then the storm came. i stuck my head out of the water and i couldn’t see anything, not even the 2000′ high mountains. it was kind of freaky but we kept on diving. i learned not to panic and to relax. so that’s what we did. anyway, i took this photo on the way back passing makapuu. it was beautiful…. the calm after the storm. haha…

today wasn’t the greatest for fish but we got a few. we speared those big nenue’s for the family that was on the beach. the lady was watching my car for me so nobody would steal it. and lucky nobody stole it because i parked it at on of the most dangerous beaches on the island… it’s so dangerous that i can’t even say the beaches name…

we were starving from all that paddling and swimming. hayato made the call for a garlic chicken bento. and that was the right call….

then i went back to t-mobile to take back that piece of crap $200 phone i bought yesterday. i waited again for 2 hours and i’m back to where i started 2 days ago. with my old phone. i hate this digital world….

ame doko? suyoi kaze doko? saki makapuu no hou wa paradise deshita….
hey, where is the rain? where is the wind? gosh, makapuu was like
paradise…
GONE DIVING….

good morning. 7am on this west wind aloha friday. ok, who set off the panic button yesterday? they closed all public and private schools today because of the forecasted strong winds. i think they went a little too far. i’ve seen it way worst then this. oh well, i guess the kids are lucky to have a 4 day weekend. the news is telling people to stay indoors but that’s something i can’t do. waves on the north/west/south shores are unridable. i’m throwing my surfboard and speargun in my car, picking up hayato, and going to find something to do. have a safe windy day!!!

DID I EVER TELL YOU ABOUT ONE OF MY DREAMS BACK IN JULY 2006? JULY 1, 2006 WAS THE DAY WE LAUNCHED THIS WEBSITE: GO-NAMINORI.COM. SINCE THAT DAY, ONE OF MY MANY DREAMS HAS FINALLY COME TRUE. AND A LOT SOONER THAN EXPECTED. WHAT WAS MY DREAM? IT WAS TO RENT A HOUSE ON THE NORTH SHORE DURING THE WINTER SEASON WHEN ALL OF MY JAPANESE FRIENDS AND SPONSORS COME TO HAWAII. YUP, I THOUGHT I WAS DREAMING UNTIL THE DAY FINALLY CAME, WHICH WAS YESTERDAY. WE RENTED A 3 BEDROOM HOUSE RIGHT AT ROCKY POINT AND WILL BE THERE FOR THE NEXT 2 MONTHS. YEAH, IT’S TIME TO GO BIG AND TIME TO WORK HARDER FOR MY NEW ULTIMATE DREAM. WHICH IS TO BUY A HUGE 10 BEDROOM HOUSE RIGHT IN FRONT OF PIPELINE. THIS IS ONE CLASSIC EXAMPLE HOW HARD WORK PAYS OFF. DREAM, WORK TOWARDS IT, AND WHEN THAT DAY COMES, IT’S ALL WORTH IT, AND MUCH MUCH MORE….. SURF YOUR DREAMS….

take a look from the outside. i erased the address near the door because i don’t want any stalkers coming by late at night. this house is sick!!! you’ll be seeing me more surfing rocky point this year….

this is the back yard. and this is where there will be barbecues and happy times. if your a go-naminori supporter, your welcome to stop by anytime….
