good evening. went to the east side for an all day dive. the water was clean, the waves were small, and the fish were out….. i caught a pretty good size omilu, a nice moana’kali, and some uhu’s and stuff. but the catch of the day was from kyle nakamoto. he was chumming the water and this school of tuna’s came in. he took aim with his little 100cm gun, took the shot, and landed a nice 18.2lbs tuna. might be a state record. stay tuned….

the billabong pro in tahiti finally started today. not the biggest, but good enough. one major upset. world champion mick fanning out! he lost in the second round. kelly slater on fire again. when is that guy going to quit? didn’t he retire 2 times already?
**for those of you who are still sending me emails about the ear rings alyssa made, i already sent it out to the first person who asked for it. sorry….

good morning. 5:45am and i didn’t get up early to surf small waves. i got up early to dive. no wind, small waves, clean water. i’m out of here…. have a nice day. oh, as for the waves. like i said, small. bowls is flat. well, maybe knee high. diamond head came way down too. knee/waist high. 5 guys out at the park and nobody out at rockpiles or bowls. grab a mask and check out the underwater world….

i took the naito family from chigasaki surfing last sunday. i had a really fun time with a really nice family. thank you yoshihiko-san, miho-san, and keito. hope you enjoyed your stay in hawaii. keep on surfing….

since i came back from thailand, i went to champa thai restaurant twice. but you know what, it’s all good. i’ll go there every night if i’m having a good time with my good friends. team hiroshima, kinsan, maki, and yukari-san…. thanks for the great time guys and gals….

we were one of the first to get there, and the last to leave…. why would you want to leave when your eating with these cool chicks. and drinking steinlager pure’s….. oh shit, it’s 6:15am already, i got to get going…. just saw a set at bowls. 20 inches and 3 guys are already on it. see ya….

good evening. went to meet jun and team hiroshima down at bowls this morning for a surf. the waves were waist high and didn’t look too fun. so we headed to diamond head lighthouse and the waves were pretty dam good. overhead peeling rights with only 3 other guys out. so the 5 of us paddled out. actually 3 others but i count myself as 2 because i’m still dam hungry for surf. i’m still trying to catch 2 surfers share of waves ever since i got back from japan. i love surfing and feel like riding any kind of wave. sunburned, screwed up eye, and stiff neck. nothing’s stopping me… haha… talking about screwed up eye, i went to my eye doctor and he told me the bad news. the crap growing on my eye is getting bigger and i need surgery soon. shit!!! i’m tripping out a little and it still hasn’t sunk in….

after surf, we went to eat pho at my favorite place, hale vietnam. i don’t think they have pho in japan because every time i take somebody from japan to eat pho, they always tell me it’s their first time. unbelievable…. wouldn’t it be a good idea to open one up in japan? i think so….

i had my leftover chicken plate from the other day so went to share it with kalua…. geez, i didn’t realize how big kalua got. maybe 400lbs???

then i gave him a half a watermelon i had at my house. gosh, kalua is one lucky juicy looking pig. i took girls over to visit him so i asked my sister to put gel on kalua’s hair. styling yeah?? looks like some of the guys hair i see in night clubs. haha….
**by the way, i sent out the ear rings i gave away. somebody sent me an email saying that he wanted to give it to his wife for mothers day. what a nice guy. i don’t want to say his name for privacy reasons but it’s on the way to aomori. enjoy….
