good evening. went out to the north shore with my nephews isaiah and joshua today. we met matchi and the boys out there and surfed twice. once at pipeline and once at v-land. the waves weren’t that big but it was still overhead for the kids….

this is isaiah moniz. isaiah is 13 years old and sponsored by billabong and hic. isaiah’s dream is to go to bali next year….

we pulled up to ehukai. pupukea looked pretty fun but was kind of crowded….

it was 2 years ago when i tricked my nephews. at that time, they never surfed pipe before and were so scared of that place. so i parked my car down at off-the-wall and we walked to the beach. they asked me where this was and i told them it was a secret beach break. so we went surfing at pipe. then about an hour into the session, isaiah was looking at the beach and thought something was strange. he was wondering why the volcom house and gerry lopez’s house was right in front of the break. then he asked me if this was pipe? i said no. sorry isaiah, uncle lied… but your going to thank me in the future because today was almost 2 years to the day and you paddled out there today and ripped it. oh, it was also shun and ryota’s first time surfing pipe. when we were waxing our boards by the car, shun told me he was nervous. so cute…. but the boys went out there and surfed good. i was stoked….

this is matchi, shun, isaiah, joshua, and ryota on the north shore. we just came in from surfing v-land and oh my gosh, it was so cold…. i wore a long sleeve top and was still cold. the kids and i had my heater in my car on all the way back to town. i’m still cold. going to take a hot shower and get under some warm blankets. good night….

good morning. 6:30am december 20th. gosh, can you believe christmas is in 5 days? fast huh? waves are pretty small again but looks like the north shore came up a foot or so. so maybe some 2 or 3′ surf at some spots. 2 guys out at pipe. the conditions are really clean at ehukai and lani’s. perfect for the kids. town is flat. one guy out at rockpiles, one guy out at bowls, and one guy out at courts. must be lonely out there… haha… the tradewinds finally backed down so everywhere is clean. i just got some new boards so i’m going surfing…. see you in the water….
OH MY GOSH!! want chicken skin? watch this amazing 10 year old girl. and remember her name because she will be famous for sure!!! she already is…. the next alicia keys. Gabi Wilson….

good evening. the waves in the north shore were pretty small today. didn’t even surf. went to check out diamond head around lunch time and there were some fun waves. overhead sets with a pretty good angle at light house. only 3 other guys out so i had a good session. the water has been freezing cold these past few days. i almost turned around when i felt the water today. if your coming from japan, better bring a wetsuit top at least…. solid swell forecasted for this weekend and a huge swell at the end of this month. maybe eddie aikau?? hope so….
