good aloha friday morning. 6:45am hawaii time. finally no wind outside. in fact, no winds for a while so expect epic surfing conditions. nothing big but medium size and perfect. high surf advisory for the south shores? yes, but town is only waist/chest high right now. hopefully should be picking up. 5 guys at rockpiles, 15 freaking guys at bowls. country looks 3′ with 2 guys out at pipe, and a couple guys at rocky point. too small for the x-cel pro so it’s off today. see you in the water…

check out this new magazine that came out in japan. it’s pretty cool. a magazine that caters to older guys like me. got some nice photos in there…..

there’s a photo gallery by art brewer. it’s called “sons of summer”. his photos are amazing. i looked at it 10 times already. it gave me some inspiration…. now i just got to take my camera gear out of my suitcase….. it’s still in there with everything else…..

if you ever go to zippy’s. take a pass by the napolean bakery and you’ll end up buying something. i don’t eat sweets but just couldn’t resist this day…. ummmm…….

and last, wanted to welcome seth moniz to TSSC SURFBOARDS. seth just made 10 years and is on his way to a great future. i’m so stoked for him. here he is with his brand new mike woo. his quiver from mike, minami, kaysen, and matchi are coming soon…. check out his interview on go-naminori by CLICKING HERE…..

good evening. finally got my computer squared away. get this, there was 1 photo out of 30,000 photos in my library that was corrupt. must be one of those ones i stole off the internet. anyway, that was the reason i couldn’t get the data on to my new computer. 1 stupid photo…. anyway, after spending 3 hours on the phone this morning talking with apple tech support, i just put my 2 computers in the car and took it down to the apple store. that was 10am. it’s now 5pm and everything is working fine….

this was me last night…. stress…. i hate computers and i was about to throw this one out of my window. seriously. by the way, this computer has a video and camera on it. so you can see me everyday now. haha. just joking….

this is me now. happy as can be. after i dropped off my computer this morning, i went to surf lighthouse. the waves were so fun. only a couple of guys out so got to catch a lot of waves. i was thinking today that if it wasn’t for surfing or diving. i would be a dick, an asshole, or what ever you want to call it. so this is the first time i’m going to thank…. surfing….. oh, and diving…. oh, and yoga…. oh, and my family and friends… thanks…

and check out carter and miwa’s dog. so dam cute…. well, until he chews up the leather sofa… haha…

and peace to the girls of okinawa…..

good morning. hardly got any sleep lastnight. as of now, i’m still on the phone with apple tech support. i have a feeling this is going to take all day. but i know once it’s done, my new computer will be a lot faster so less time on it. been watching the waves for a while. looks like north shore came up a little. supposed to come up more throughout the day but now rocky point is 3′ with 2 guys out. x-cel pro cancelled today. town has a little bump too. already got 8 guys out at bowls. looks clean everywhere with these light winds. waves everywhere this week. get on it. and save some for me because once i get this computer stuff sorted out, i’m going surfing. and next time any of you buy a new computer, read the instructions. i sure will….
**by the way, the water at bowls looks super dirty. it rained hard last night so be careful….
