good evening. gosh, what a dark, rainy day again we had here today. the waves were junk on the north shore. i called matchi this morning and asked how the waves were. he said “owatteru”, which means “finished” in english. in surfers slang, it means “super shitty”. i just checked the surf forecast now and it’s looking “owatteru” for a while. winds back strong tomorrow with some rain along with it. and no big swells…. “owatteru”….
no surf? go dive! went out with my brother and friend brandon out to waikiki. caught some fish, not too much, but enough for dinner. on the way out, seen this pod of dolphins. probably 30 or more just cruzing around. had my pocket dig. camera so jumped in to swim around with them. check out these photos…

this is one of the 2 pods. not ipods you know. haha.. pods of dolphins means a lot of them. they were just cruzing around swimming at a slow pace…

then the other pod swam by me. gosh, it was pretty awesome…. haven’t done this in a while….

i took 4 photos and this one is the best one, a keeper. no this is not a wyland painting, this is a photo from my olympus 790sw pocket camera. must be a couple? i wanted to kick myself in the ass because if i had my good canon camera in my housing, i would have gotten sick ass shots…. but you know what? i know where they are everyday so i can go back again. and today was dark and cloudy anyway. so here’s my next mission, to go back out there on a sunny day with my good camera and get some sick ass shots. but first, i need a mermaid. any volunteers? haha…

good morning. 6:45am on this chilly wednesday morning. north winds out in the country so the waves are stormy and junky. town is super clean but flat. good day for diving? umm…. can’t wait for sunny days starting tomorrow…. have a nice last cloudy day..
**went to my friend reid’s house to watch the sugar bowl yesterday…. turned out to be the sour bowl. hawaii played not so good and it was pretty disappointing. it was our chance to shine in front of millions of people and it just didn’t h/PC310317.jpg” width=”560″ height=”420″ alt=””>
i took my camera out to bowls the other day. it was cloudy but still had a nice view….

bowls is longboard heaven. if i was a longboarder, i’d be there every day….

what’s up guys, when is the last time you seen a [:??????:][:??????:][:??????:] mark in the weather forecast? seems like years…. once the sun comes out, so will the smiles. happy sunny days to come….

and last, next time i go to japan, i’m doing this too….. looks so relaxing….

good morning. happy new year hawaii!!! junk waves around the island today with north/east winds so the north shore is bumpy and ugly. the forecast is for sunny skies starting tomorrow… can’t wait… have a great new years day!!! hope you have a healthy and happy 2008. and did you make your new years resolution? i did and i hope it lasts for more than a couple of days. see ya in the water….

today is not only new years day in hawaii. it’s also the biggest day in the history of sports in hawaii. sugar bowl baby…. [:???????????????:][:???????????????:][:???????????????:] it’s going to be nuts!!! UH vs. Georgia… every single person living in hawaii’s eyes will be glued to the tv when the game starts at 3pm today so for all you japanese surfers, go surf at 3pm because i guarantee you that there will be NO LOCALS. it’s your time to rule any spot on the island you pick…. haha… as for me, don’t call me or bother me after 3pm because i won’t answer my phone until the game is over. i’m so excited that i might piss in my pants… haha…!!!! GO WARRIORS….

if we win, i will dress up like this and run around in waikiki screaming my head off…. and i don’t think i will be the only one… have a great day and stay out of my way.. haha…
