good evening. just got back from our family christmas dinner at my mom’s house. this year was hawaiian food. ribs, squid luau, chicken long rice, kalua pig, poke, and poi. oh my gosh, i’m so full….

this is kelia at home. she’s got such a funny personality and was cracking me up all night. we were watching her show she did for FUEL TV. it’s coming out in january on national tv and it’s pretty cool. she was dancing and singing all night tonight. i took video too so wait to see it on youtube. haha. just joking…

this is kelia at work. pretty sick roxy ad photo jim russi took….

up until last year, we use to play BINGO after dinner. now that the kids are grown up, the new game is POKER…. and yeah, for money…..
**as for the waves, heard haliewa was pretty fun today. they ran the japanese mens division and junior mens division. stay tuned for results…. waves coming down for tomorrow and still windy. where is the sunny no wind mornings???? it’s been a while….

good morning. 8am here on wednesday morning. just got back from the airport. bol went back to bali, shun and ryota went back to japan. i wish i could have jumped on a plane and went somewhere too…. as for the waves, north shore came up a little. looks 2-4′ at pipe with 20 guys out. still kind of bumpy due to these winds but surfable. town has some small waist high wind swell waves. a few guys out at bowls and looking pretty fun. it looks like it’s going to be a nice day… get out there and enjoy…

we had a christmas barbecue at my house last night. this is bol, shun, ryota, and matchi. i ate too much and still smell like a barbecue….

this mango salsa is the bomb. they sell it at costco and let me tell you, it taste pretty dam good….

along with some chips, it’s all good….

this is a sign i saw at the airport this morning. doesn’t make sense. every airlines is different. the boys left on china air and paid $42 for their first board, and $84 for the second. so one board bag with 2 boards in cost them $126 each. i guess it’s better than the $600 they paid from japan to hawaii…..

good morning. 7am here on this christmas morning in hawaii. merry christmas everyone!!!! hope santa brought you something you wanted. this year, santa said surfers were naughty so he brought no waves. the waves are once again small and windy. north shore is max 2′ with only one guy out at pipe now. it’s windy and bumpy. town is waist high and kind of windy too. 2 guys out at rockpiles, 3 guys out at bowls, and 3 guys out at the park. looks smaller and a lot more windy than yesterday. but you know what? it’s better than nothing right???? get out there and enjoy this beautiful christmas day!!!! oh, wanted to say thanks to all my friends who left voice messages, sent me text messages, and emails wishing me a merry christmas. i wish you the same too… be safe and enjoy the holiday season. hope to see you all soon….
