good evening. yesterday was such a cool day. the temperature dropped off a bit but today it was up again. i can’t wait to fall to come. fall in japan is cool and so beautiful. got so many things to do so gotta go. catching up on my emails and spending hours and hours on my computer. i want to slap the persons face that created the internet. i have no time for anything now days. my afternoon nap days are over. and that pisses me off. haha…. goodnight…

wanted to thank my long time friend darin isobe for sending me these photos of hawaii today. this is the classic shot of diamond head from kewalo’s….

gosh, the waves at kewalo’s looks pretty fun. 2′ and perfect. wish i were there. i miss hawaii….

things like this make me not miss hawaii so much. you can only get this in japan….

check out this cool sunflowers. i don’t know why but seeing these makes me bright and happy. i wonder why? do you feel the same way??

good morning. 7:30am here in japan. small waves today and nothing spectacular in the forecast. got an email from a long time friend in niijima. hiroaki tomita from minshiku yojibay said the waves are flat there now. they are trying to run the NSA ALL JAPAN AMATUER contest but the waves are flat so they had to head up the beach to secrets. what a bummer. i remember surfing JPSA’s up there in knee high waves. it’s not too fun. but at least there is an awesome onsen overlooking the beach. i remember climbing down the rocks, picking some opihi’s, and drinking a beer while soaking in the hot spa. gosh, those were the days. it’s been a while since i’ve been to niijima and i really miss there a lot. the people are so nice and when the waves are good, it’s good…. anyway, have a nice day and to all my friends surfing the contest up there, ganbatte ne….

this was the beach last wednesday in kyoto. i don’t know any of the points names or anything so i don’t even know where i surfed. who cares because the waves were super fun….

some of the beaches on the japan sea are full of rubbish. my friend told me that all the rubbish comes from korea because it’s so close. this was a little bay near tango where there were piles of rubbish on the beach. it’s pretty sad for me to see things like this. i was looking at some of the things and i saw japanese fishing nets and japanese drink bottles so everything can’t be coming from korea. come on guys, no excuses, let’s pick up our rubbish and keep our precious ocean clean….

i went for a 30 min dive to check it out. there were some waves so the water was dirty and rough….

these things climbed into my cooler. what are they???[:????????$B!r(B:]

good evening. just got a bunch of galleries from bruddah josh down in okinawa. i was checking them out and oh my gosh. sick…. jamie o’brian was down there a few days ago boosting some huge airs…. the galleries will be up soon so check back on GO-NAMINORI.COM….

you know something, okinawa has some of the most beautiful girls in the world. some pure japanese but looked mixed, and some mixed that look pure japanese. and most people speak english there. i use to go there all the time but haven’t in a while. i can’t wait because i’m going there this year for sure. once or twice, or three times, lady….

this is jamie busting out a bruce irons air. just imagine the people in okinawa watching this from the seawall. the must have been freaking out…. thanks josh…

just had to throw this in. this is japan on august 26th, 2003. how big is this wave???? big!!! i got the video clip of this wave that glen matsumoto gave to me a long time ago. believe it or not, i’m in that barrel trying to find a way out. my biggest barrel ever in japan. and that was 14 years ago….
**next week looking like a small east swell for japan. you know what that means….. i’m going back up north. see ya…
