good evening. we went hunting today and came across one lucky pig. we were in position, the pig came out of the bushes, my friend loaded the arrow, lined him up, then took the shot. shit!!! missed the whole pig!!! the arrow went high and the pig ran away. i took video of the whole thing while getting bitten by millions of mosquitos. a couple people wanted to know how we hunt here in hawaii so i took video to post. but not this time… we will try again this weekend. i guess it was that pigs lucky day. if we got him, i would have pork chops, spareribs, and liver sashimi all week long. heard the winds are going to back off next week. i’m hearing plans of a molokai boat trip? sounds good with me. anyway, swells on the way but i’m still out of commission. i don’t even want to think about surfing right now.. have a great evening….
**by the way, we just changed servers so i lost some of my emails. i pressed the wrong button and erased some emails i got yesterday and today. so if you sent me an email and don’t get a response in the next few days, that means i accidentally erased it. sorry. also, for some reason, i can’t send out emails today. naoka, HELP!!!

watch it again and imagine this place double overhead, offshore winds, low tide, and hollow enough to drive a car through. this is the very place i got my best backside barrel in my whole entire surfing life. in fact, it was later that evening. if somebody got that on video, i would make kelly slaters video for sure…. haha…

ima buta hunt desu. iru kana? up in the mountains looking for pork….

good morning. 6:45am on another beautiful hawaiian tropical day. looking pretty nice outside. got a small south swell in town and a small north/west swell on the north shore. got a bunch of guys out at lani’s and looking pretty good. 6 guys out at bowls. ahhhhh….. i want to surf!!!! ahhhh….. i might have to go hunting today… have a great stress free day…

kazuma is from okinawa and only 9 years old. on my last night in okinawa, he came up to me and gave me this photo of us when we were in chiba a few weeks earlier. i thought that was pretty cool…

i turned the photo around and this is what it said. in english “kirby-san, thank you for everything”. it honestly touched my heart…

then right after that, daiki-kun came up to me and gave me this frame he made. i think daiki-kun is 6?

he even drew a picture of me. check out my middle comb… haha… daiki-kun said that the glass and shells that’s glued to the frame were picked at sunabe. that’s priceless. two great kids. and two great parents. it’s these things that parents teach their kids is what’s awesome. from the heart, just like their father, kazubo-san. wanted to say thank you again and again to the kazubo-san family in okinawa. hope to see you again soon….
