good morning. 5:45am. small waves in town and small waves in the country. knee high everywhere. no wind so you know what that means… yup, go diving….
yesterday i went to the west side to pick up a new blue water gun. i went to the guys house and approached the gate. when i got there, i seen a long chain going behind me that went under the car. then i seen a couple big piles of dog shit. i started putting two plus two together and by the time i looked under the car, i seen this freakin vicious rotwailer pissed off at me for stepping in his territory. oh my gosh… i started to walk back slowly and the dog got up and as soon as i seen his tail straight up and his teeth, i walked back faster as he came for me. i haven’t been that scared for a long time but i knew if i panicked, i would have gotten attacked. and all i had in my hand was my cell phone. shit, i kept on waking back faster and faster and he started running to me. luckily, before he could jump up and bite me, he came to the end of his chain. shit!!! i asked the owner why she didn’t tell me there was a dog. she told me “ehh, this is waianae, what do you expect?” then the neighbor came out and said “bra, i thought you was crazy when i seen you walk up there. that dog nuts. bra, this is waianae, not hawaii kai.” shit, i’ll never step out of my car ever again in waianae. no freaking way….

if you don’t know what a rotwailer is, run if you see a dog like this….

there was this little rock that the kids were jumping off from. looked so fun. but i still was too traumatized to get out of my car… haha…

big news out of hawaii. bruce irons is quitting the ASP World Tour after this year. he says “I’m going back to being a free surfer”…. that’s super cool… for me, i’d rather see him on surf trips and on dvd’s free surfing, instead of chasing the tour and trying to hang on. imagine him and shane dorian going on surf trips? sick. can’t wait…

another dangerous job is construction. one mistake, your done. call the ambulance….

i was checking the kaiko’s cam the other day and seen the superferry zoom on by. did you know it goes 46mph? that’s freaking fast….

and last, i wrote a blog in the beginning of this month about a sticker i saw on a car. “i just want to get barreled” that day, i got an email from this kind person in japan that reads my blog. he said he will make a sticker for me. this past weekend, i got a fedex envelope in the mail with a bunch of “i just want to get barreled” stickers in different colors. HAPPY!!!! HAPPY!!! [:????????$B!r(B:][:????????$B!r(B:] that kind persons name is wada-san from new world trading inc. THANK YOU SO MUCH WADA-SAN FOR SPREADING THE ALOHA ALL THE WAY FROM JAPAN…. it’s people like you that make this world a better place….

good morning. 6:30am tuesday morning. looking outside my house and it’s going to be another paradise day here in hawaii. super sunny and light winds. north shore has some small waves and 4 guys are out at lani’s. town is super small but still surfable. only got 3 guys at bowls. hope you all had a good memorial day weekend. i sure did. and thanks to you all for the emails about the diving video. yeah, i’ll post more in the future. when i was shooting bowls yesterday, i was checking out this guys underwater HD video camera. looked sick. then i came home and looked for one online. after 1 hour of searching, i stopped and started talking to myself. “hey, what are you thinking? you got too many dam hobbies. slow down. stop right now.” so i stopped. but todays a different day so i’m going to look for a used one right now. haha…. if anybody’s selling a used one, please let me know. mahalo….

happy birthday isaiah….
