good evening. we’re in the middle of north shore big wave season and guess where the biggest and best waves were today? in town… haha… yeah, there is a little south swell coming in and nobody knows about it. surfed with hayato and kimura-san this morning at bowls. nobody was out when we got out. the waves were perfect and super fun. one other lucky japanese paddled out and surfed with us. after we had enough and was ready to go in, team japan pro bodyboarders came out and had ala moana bowls to themselves. rare? freaking unheard of….

went to kimura-san’s room after to take this photo of their million dollar view…. gosh, i wish my house had a view like this. i wouldn’t leave it…

kind of blurry but you can see that perfect left breaking towards the right side of the photo. that’s bowls, and nobody is on that wave. could have been you…..

when i was young, on the weekends, we use to rent a hotel room in waikiki, invite 100 friends, and have a “hotel party”. loud noise, loud music, and drunk teenagers. 9 out of 10 times, we use to get kicked out by the security guards. those were the days… while i was looking down into rooms today, i was thinking something. gosh, no dam privacy. imaging paying big bucks to stay at a famous beach front hotel in waikiki. then waking up one morning naked and looking out your balcony to see somebody like me taking your picture. cheese…..

there is a secret chinese dimsum restaurant in town that is the best in hawaii. went there with hayato, kimura-san, and atsuko-san. awesome lunch…. the restaurants name is called “Chinese Nevamind Restaurant”. and it’s on “Nevamind Street”. so Nevamind….
**after lunch, we met up with kinsan and team okinawa. took a little china town tour. besides watching one guy stick a heroin needle up his leg near the bus stop, and another guy take a hit of his ice pipe on the picnic bench, and big girls almost getting into a fist fight, everything else was normal. gosh, china town is nuts. i always tell my japanese friends to stay away from there. even i get a little scared going down there. mix it up with the wrong people and your done.

today’s fresh catch? maguro @ $1.50/lbs. not bad….

or if you want pork, you can put this whole pig in a shopping bag and take it home for dinner. here kinsan is checking out the grade of the meat. or is he acting like a pig? i don’t know. but whatever he was doing, we all couldn’t stop laughing…[:??$B”y(B???:][:??$B”y(B???:][:??$B”y(B???:]

to everyone that was invited to the barbecue tonight on the north shore. just wanted to let you know it’s cancelled. why? look outside and you’ll know why…..[:??$B!/(B:][:??$B!/(B:][:??????????????$B!/(B:][:??????????????$B!/(B:][:??$B!/(B:][:??$B!/(B:][:??????????????$B!/(B:][:??????????????$B!/(B:] try again tomorrow….

good morning. 6:45am monday morning. dark dark gloomy day again. super cloudy and expecting heavy rain. waves in town about waist high at bowls and bigger at diamond head. oh, i’m looking at the diamond head camera right now and just seen lightning. wow… waves on the north shore is pretty much flat. nothing and nobody out at pipe. it’s probably going to be a small ehukai day. sounds good to me…. i got to get out of here. so many thing to do and so little time….. have a nice day…

bad news guys, more rain on the way…. i haven’t seen a sun mark for over a month now… is this really hawaii? what’s happening to our weather? my friends from okinawa are in heavy jackets telling me that hawaii is much colder than okinawa? huh?? weird weather, strange things going on. but i have a tip for all you staying on the north shore. if you want to see some sun, come to town. yesterday was beautiful and today will probably clear up too….

got barbecue????? it’s going to be a long day and a long nuts night…

for all you surfers and tourist that came to hawaii this past few months, i really feel sorry for you. hawaii is a beautiful sunny warm place. i took this photo of waimea bay on a sunny day a while ago. yeah, like i said, a while ago. hang in there because the sun will come back. not anytime soon, but it will….[:??????:][:??????:][:??????:]
