good evening. earlier this morning, i was at home taking my time because the weather was so cloudy and windy. then the calls started coming in. “ehukai is going off and it’s super sunny.” jumped in the car with naoka, picked up allyssa, and speeded my way over. pulled up to ehukai and the waves looked so fun….

i seen some guys taking off up at pupukea and kicking out in front of the lifeguard stand at ehukai. freaking long ripable waves…. had a bunch of people out and every japanese photographer you can think of was shooting so expect some pupukea sandbar issue out soon….

then it was off to ted’s bakery for lunch. took the girls with me. alyssa ordered plain rice and a piece of ted’s pie. kelia ordered french fries. it was cheaper to buy the whole pie so we took it to the dove house to eat it all…. dam it was good…. by the way, ted’s has a new special called kalbi chicken. oh my gosh… if you want barbecue style chicken, that’s the thing to order. it was so good. a lot better than the shoyu chicken i usually order. try it….

the tako wasabi in hawaii is the best. i’ve tried it almost everywhere but i think the best place is the new safeway in kapahulu. it’s so good….. kanpai[:?????????:][:?????????:][:?????????:]

in japanese, we say “atama over.” in english, we say “overhead.” seth moniz, v-land….
**and last, check out the headline news in america today. “Spy satellite loses power, may fall to Earth” what??? yeah, a 20,000 pound space shuttle the size of a bus lost power in space and expected to crash somewhere on earth. when?? late february or march. why?? because we don’t think before we do things. what to do? nothing. you can’t hide….. try to sleep on that one….

good morning. 7am on this windy windy saturday morning in hawaii. small waves around the island with windy conditions. town’s flat, north shore is flat too. nobody out at pipe, or even at lani’s. and it’s saturday so the waves must be junky. good day to stay indoors and watch a movie or something. or good day to get some work done. what ever you choose to do, have a fun and safe day…..

#17 rated pro surfer in the world Chris Ward is in big trouble. he was arrested outside a bar couple of weeks ago in california after he fought with three women. the police said he punched all three and when they showed up, all three women were on the ground and one was unconscious. he is charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon and disturbing the peace. that’s a pretty big charge and he has some explaining to do. according to the ASP rule book, “Any surfer who damages the image of the sporting body, no matter the place or location, is subject to suspension or expulsion from the ASP World Tour.” that’s pretty heavy. will keep you posted. just remember, everybody is innocent until found guilty by a court of law in america. we’ll just have to see the outcome….

and last, doesn’t this look like the happiest couple in the world? i think so….

good evening. long fun day today. went diving this morning and driving around this afternoon….

my brother caught this fish. this is called a “Nohu” and it’s from the Scorpion fish family. get poked by his fangs and you will have to cut off you finger. nah.. but it will hurt like hell…. by the way, these fish are really good eating…

after diving, we drove by my sisters house to check on kalua and drop off some corn. yeah you kalua fans, he’s super happy and getting bigger and bigger by the day.[:??$B”y(B???:][:??$B”y(B???:][:??$B”y(B???:]

then it was off to ross to spy on kelia and alyssia shopping…

then it was off to one of my favorite spots to watch the sunset… wish you were there….

then it was off to one of my favorite spots to eat korean yakiniku. i feel like kalua now…[:??$B”y(B???:][:??$B”y(B???:][:??$B”y(B???:]
**get this story. while we were watching the sunset this evening, these high school kids were swimming around. as they left, one of the kids yelled at us “watashi no chimpo mite kudasai”…. what???? that means in english “please look at my d_ck….. i kind of laughed about it and the more i thought about it, that’s exactly how i was when i was a kid. we don’t speak japanese here in hawaii but we know how to say crazy phrases like that… i could see those kids going down to waikiki yelling that to all the japanese tourists… classic….
**north/east swell on the rise. selected north shore spots should be going off tomorrow. hope you know where to go….
