good morning. 5am and another windy day with small surf around the island. it’s been the same for a while now. getting bored of surfing small waves so taking a break today. find something else to do. have a nice day….

oh my gosh!!! santa came early and dropped off my present. the present i was waiting a long time for. my new hand made custom andre speargun from bali. it’s made from the highest quality teak wood and looks killer…. i’m so stoked….

andre even engraved my name in it. thanks so much andre… i’m going diving….

now maybe i can catch a big tuna like andre….

good evening. i tripped out when i found out the contest was on because i knew the waves were flat. i drove out to the north shore anyway so i stopped by pipeline. the were running the contest at off-the-wall and the waves were small. head high sets and windy and junky. this got to be the worst pipe masters ever. i actually felt sorry for the competitors. but if you want to become a competitive surfer, you got to be able to surf any size and any condition. today was a perfect example…

this was the conditions today. like i said, small and windy…. andy irons, bruce irons, kelly slater, mick fanning, and other top 10 surfers lost early….

the man of the day was australia’s bede durbidge. bede was ripping every heat and surfed every wave perfectly. he is the 2007 off-the-wall master and he also won the triple crown title. congrats…

no, this was not today. this was last years pipe masters. the waves have been so junk that i forgot how pipeline looked so i went back and found this photo i took at last years contest. will it ever get this good in 2007? with only a couple of weeks left and no swells forecasted, it’s looking grim….

future pipeline competitors? i hope so….
**and just wanted to say thanks to keone watson and rainos hayes from billabong. i went to the billabong house for lunch today and found my friend craig sako in the kitchen making the best grinds. craig is the chef at the 5 star restaurant in the halekulani hotel named “orchids”. the food he made was awesome. poke, steak, garlic fish, fried rice, and some other killer dishes. i ate 2 huge plates that made me feel like kalua….[:??$B”y(B???:][:??$B”y(B???:] thanks craig…..

good morning. 6:45am on this cold, overcast, windy monday morning. small waves around the island. town is knee high with nice offshore conditions. nobody out bowls and only one guy at the park. the north shore is 1-2′ with lani’s and ehukai the best spots again. it’s windy now and going to get stronger. keep warm and have a nice day….

i bet you didn’t know i could sew? my grandma’s on both sides use to make all of our clothes for us when we were kids. they would spend hours and hours on the sewing machine and just by watching, i picked up a few sewing tricks. want me to make you a dress????

i think this photo is cool. saw it on msn.com and it caught my eye. i would love to see it with my own eyes….

the other day when i went to watch the pipe masters, somebody left these flyers on all the cars windows. WIN FREE BREAST IMPLANTS??? yeah, there was a party at the Skyline bar on the top of the Sheraton Hotel this past weekend. i thought to myself, “what is this world coming too?”…. go to a club and win fake boobs? so i went. haha. just joking….
