good morning. 8am here on this christmas eve in hawaii. got some waves in the country. north shore’s 3′ with 10 guys out at pipe. looks pretty fun and clean. the contest at haleiwa is off for today and tomorrow. town got some little waves. waist/chest high and really clean. 8 guys out at rockpiles and about 10 out at bowls. it’s full moon today so a super high tide right now. got things to do, like sufing… see you in the water…

just wanted to wish my sponsors (Dove Wetsuits, TSSC Surfboards, Spice Clothing, Barrels Water Sports, VonZipper Sunglasses, Destination Surf, and everybody at Go-Naminori) and also my many friends all over japan a MELE KELIKIMAKA. japan is a day ahead of us so it’s their special christmas day….. CHRISTMAS OMEDETOU GOZAIMASU!!!!

good evening. what a wet day we had today. it’s been raining near my house all day. just went outside to throw away the rubbish and got soaked. it really feels like winter in hawaii and i love it. two days left for christmas and i’m getting excited. christmas is the happiest time of the year and everybody seem to be so nice during this time. the waves are junk, the winds are strong, the weather is pretty wet, and there’s no sign when we will have a epic surfing day. but you know what? it could be worst. i had a fun day today in the water and can’t wait until tomorrow.. the waves on the north shore were 3′ today and on the rise tomorrow. they finished up the boys and longboard girls divisions today at haleiwa. congratulations to the finalists…. have a great evening and please drive safe…

this is another place i would love to be…. merry christmas….

good morning. 6:40am sunday morning. finally got some surf on the north shore. it’s not too big but big enough to get the haleiwa international open started. the boys will be surfing today. waves are in the 2-4′ range out there. town is knww/waist high and nobody’s out yet. it’s going to be a windy, but beautiful day. enjoy….

the new aloha street magazine came out this month. just picked up my copy from waikiki. it’s a pretty cool magazine with a lot of information about hawaii. even some things i’ve never seen or heard of before. and this girl on the cover. does anybody know her name? gosh, i swear i seen her somewhere before. maybe it was in my dream… haha… just joking…

there’s a 2 page spread of malia mizuno surfing town this past summer. the waves were pretty junk that day but all it takes is one lucky shot. i think malia is 10 years old. she’s such a cutie…
