cool photo….

good morning. waves dropped on the north shore into the 2-4′ range. looking fun but a little morning sickness. should be getting better as the day goes along. town back to normal, knee/waist high. north/west swells, south swells, east swells, and a lot of rain on the way. stay tuned. have a nice day…

i know a lot of japanese who come to hawaii in search for the loco moco. i’ve been eating these all my life and pretty much tried every place that served loco moco’s in hawaii. want a cheap fast food $3 loco moco, go to rainbows. but if you want a gourmet loco moco that will make your mouth water, go to the pineapple room by alan wong. it’s on the 3rd floor of the macy’s store in ala moana shopping center. i eat there once in a while with my japanese friends and every body says the same thing “oh my gosh, oishi”…. they serve the regular hamburger loco moco but the one is this photo is called the “kalua pig corned hash loco moco”. my favorite. it’s served over friend rice and once you eat it, i guarantee you’ll go back for more. even though it costs $15, it’s worth it. add $3.50 for the best plantation ice tea you will ever have. and please don’t tell too many people about this place. it’s getting more and more crowded and i hate waiting. maybe see you there today. haha.. enjoy….[:?????$B!x(B???:]
**i met kat last year in japan at a surf party in chiba. ever since then, i’ve been keeping up with her and her music. she’s getting bigger and bigger in japan and her youtube vids are getting better and better. kat’s a classic example of hard work paying off. good job kat and can’t wait to see you perform in japan this year. check her out touring in the kansai area…

good evening. had a pretty mellow day here in hawaii. took some friends surfing at bowls. chest high sets and pretty clean. i didn’t bother going to the north shore because there is a contest that runs from today till the 15th at my favorite surf spot, backdoor. and plus, the water from mokulea to waimea bay is still dirty. yuck… i still want to go diving so bad. help!! nemo needs help!!! haha.. have a nice evening…. and thanks everybody for the kind emails. they keep on coming and i can’t keep up. gomenasai… goodnight…

i just downloaded another memory card into my computer and totally forgot i took some snaps at the pipeline masters. here’s kelly slater getting ready for his semi-final heat. focused, determined, and a true champion…

so he runs into the water, jumps on his board, and does a round house cutback. i gave him a 3.5….

if you want to take a photo of the gallery, do it when kelly’s surfing. all eyes and cameras are on him. then when after his heat is finished, half the beach goes home….

girls come all the way from japan to see the 9x world champion. konichi wa…

and kelly won’t let you down. he’ll give you your moneys worth. if you haven’t seen kelly surf in person, you will never know the magic he brings to the events. if it wasn’t for him, surfing wouldn’t be as exciting….
