like many other surfers, i got the golf bug. it all started about 10 years ago when all my surfing friends in hawaii started golfing. i use to go 3x a week and was super into it. spent money i didn’t have and didn’t care. and there was only one way that i was willing to quit….

i told myself that i would quit golfing if i get a hole-in-one. i’m glad it happened a few years after i started or i would still be golfing today. and also be living out of a cardboard box… golfing costs bucks….

winter season 1999. the waves were probably good that day but i didn’t care. so when my surfer friends ask me about golf, i tell them “don’t do it”…. it’s an addiction that ain’t easy to shake off. and it’s unhealthy, and it cost a lot of money… stick to surfing guys….

good evening. got my new toy today so had to try it out. woke up early to check the waves and it looked junky so hook up the boat, and off to the sea. for some reason, i started using Picasso Guns for the past 2 years. i caught a lot of fish with it but there was always times when i would just completely miss. it gets frustrating and i couldn’t figure it out. i spent so much money and time modifying it and doing all kinds of tricks to make it shoot better, and it didn’t get better. so after i got my gun yesterday, i just had to test it out. so it was off to dive on a day where going diving is crazy. today was windy and not a good diving day…. once i jumped in the water, i loaded my new gun. first shot, fish. second shot, fish. and every shot i took today, fish. this gun is so dam accurate it’s amazing.. am i happy? oh yeah… you know the saying “a magic board can change your life”. the same thing with diving. “a magic gun can change your life”….

this was half of the fish i caught today. the one in my right hand is called an amberjack or “kahala”. not kahala mall. i was watching all these small fish zip on by me so i looked back. there were 6 big kahala’s chasing them. i took out the medium size one and the other 5 kept hanging around. it was pretty cool. wish i had my camera. the fish in the other hand are an uhu and kumu’s…. today was a terrible day to dive but not when you have a magic gun…. wanted to thank andre again… terima kasih…

went diving with shawn. shawn’s the man. check out his fish. and this is only half of what he caught today. and yeah, this is town. it’s not that easy catching fish in town….

when you can load up a big cooler like this in a half days dive, your going home happy.. i’m going to have a merry christmas…. hope you have one too…..
**as for the waves? forget it. small, windy, and junk… north/west swell coming this weekend… yeah!!!

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….
