good morning. 7am sunday morning. HUGE waves on the north shore. but with the waves are the north winds. everywhere up there is onshore and stormy…. eddie aikau on hold so check back to see if it’s a go today. town is straight offshore and clean but the waves came down. maybe chest high at ala moana with a bunch of guys on it already. diamond head is probably the spot again today. i surfed a secret spot yesterday where the water is usually dirty but it was crystal clean. might have to go see if there are some fishies there. feel like eating fish for dinner…. anyway, have a nice and safe day!!!
**also wanted to wish my friend russ trinidad a happy birthday!!!! cheers[:??????:][:?????????:][:?????????:][:?????????:]

went to dinner last night at imanas. the chanko nabe there is the best on the island. so good…..

my camera doesn’t take good photos at night but let me tell you, the nabe is awesome….

having a good dinner with friends makes a happy night…. kobayashi-san from selection surf shop in nagoya, kubuta-san from on the beach in miyazaki, naoka from hiroshima, and tokura-san from dove…. such a fun night!!!!

and last, check out this sick big wave photo from waimea on jan. 10th. the whole gallery coming up on go-naminori.com sometime soon….
**and last, check out one of most played karaoke songs in hawaii…. bring back memories??? “oh sandy”…..

good evening. went to the north shore early this morning and pipe/backdoor was going off!!! it was a bummer because they had a contest so all i could do is watch and dream….

i was dreaming that i was in that barrel….

and this one too….. we ended up surfing haleiwa and it was pretty good. not as good as backdoor but good enough….

then came back to town and the waves were good too. this is diamond head at 12pm. 100 guys out? ended up surfing a secret spot and it was only us…. so today was a good surfing day for me… can’t wait till tomorrow…. oh, the next huge swell supposed to peak tomorrow noon so there’s a good chance the eddie will go. if it’s on, i’m going to go watch history in the making…. have a good evening…

ohayo gozaimasu. 5:30am here on this chilly morning. planned to wake up at later but i couldn’t sleep because kenji’s snooring was too loud. can barely see the waves but it’s probably going to be good. huge north/west swell tomorrow but north winds along with it. i can see a lot of white wash at bowls right now so i wouldn’t be surprised it it’s 3′. south swell on sunday with north winds? oh my gosh…. there are going to be a lot of happy surfers in town…. secret spots going off!!! anyway, i’m going to the north shore today. have a nice day….

and check out this photo from the pictures of the week. this is the leftovers of the wildfires last year in california. when i was 6 years old, i was playing with matches in our backyard and accidently lit the mountain on fire. i remember when the fire truck came to my house to put out the fire, the fireman scolded me. i will never forget that. since that day, i didn’t play with matches ever again…. i will never forget that day….

my brother is a mechanic and takes cars apart all the time. yesterday when i left the house, he was working on a brand new toyota 4 runner air condition. the car looked like a hurricane went through it. a few hours later when i came home, he was already done putting everything back together. by himself…. he must have a good memory….
