good evening. headed to the north shore this morning for a surf, and hopefully a dive. surf, yes. dive, no way… the waves were 3′ and pretty fun but the water was still really dirty. so surf it was. pupukea was pretty fun and not too many people were out. driving home, oh my gosh!! the traffic was crazy….

micah and isaiah had chores today. wash the van before you surf. so they washed the van…

the other kids were outside on the street skateboarding. gosh, i was pretty amazed on how good they were….

kelia and her friend nage from kauai were getting ready to surf pupukea. i didn’t realize they were waiting for me to give them a ride. so i gave them a ride. then kelia dropped in on me, and nage paddled around me twice and snaked my waves. thanks girls. today might be the last time i take them surfing… haha…

if everybody surfs in your family. your garage will probably look like this. the moniz family north shore garage…

as i was driving past laniakea, i couldn’t believe that the water is still this dirty. and a dive friend of mine today told me that he hasn’t seen the water dirty for this long in 40 years. yeah, 40 years. and it probably won’t clean up for a long time more. we need our tradewinds and a big swell to wash and clean our ocean. hope it comes soon…

and last, The Disco surf party tonight at aloha tower. i better get out my dancing shoes… haha…

it’s been a long time since i seen a rainbow. this is north shore
8:30am…
rainbow hisashiburi desu. asa no north shore desu…

good morning. 6am saturday morning. woke up early because i wanted to go surf, but there’s no surf. small waves everywhere. maybe waist/chest high out on the north shore. getting desperate so i might make the drive out. weather still yucky but i seen a sun mark on the forecast. tuesday we’re expecting sunny[:??????:]skies again. yeah!! i’m going to put on my speedos, rub my body with oil, and soak up the sun. i can’t wait…. anyway, drive safe and have a nice day. christmas in 5 days? oh my gosh…

this is called a NENUE. these fish are pretty easy to spear because not too many people spear them. i always see schools of nenue but never shoot them because i ate one before and it didn’t taste too good. but i hear from a lot of people that this fish makes good poke. really? i wouldn’t mind trying it someday…

meet cassidy lum. cass is from kaiser so when she emailed me about these boards she and her friend were making, i wanted to post it on my blog. see, i support our kaiser cougars… anyway, this is called a backyard job because it’s pretty much done in the backyard. my brother and i use to make our own surfboards in high school so i know how much work it takes to finish one. and this is the first time i seen a girl make a surfboard. go cass…

this is ryan tabata getting dirty. and itchy. gosh, i give these guys credit for having the inspiration for making their own boards…

cass named this board “the doobie”. gosh, she’s gotta be from kaiser. haha… by the way cass, how can i get a kaiser t-shirt like yours? i’d be pretty dam proud to wear one… go cougars!!!
