good evening. oh my gosh!!! what an awesome day on the north shore. i left at dark and i was actually a little nervous pulling up to backdoor. seen a couple barrels but a little too much backwash. so i headed up to v-land and that was the best spot today. 3-5′ and as good as it gets. i surfed before the sun came up and then went in to grab my camera to capture the action. check it out..

this is pete johnson, jack johnson’s older brother. i guess you can say that the johnson’s can surf….

this is my best shot today. all you young kids out there, this is james jones. big wave rider, tube rider, north shore legend. when i seen him pull into this tube with the classic 70’s style, i had chicken skin…. old school surfing never dies….

i haven’t surfed with seth for a long time. while i was traveling around the world, seth was taking his surfing to another level. gosh, i can’t wait to see how far he will go in his surfing career…

michael ho. another legend doing what he was doing 40 years ago…. this shot is sick!! dragging his hand to stall in the tube? sick!!!

kelia got much better in surfing too. she went outside of me when i was taking this photo. then the wave hit me in the head and there went my vonzipper glasses. shit!!! i’m still kind of bummed out….

and last, thanks to the movie blue crush. there are now many many girls surfing these days. but nobody’s complaining…

north shore wa 4-6′ tama ni 8′ set de sugoi ii nami yo… the waves

good morning. 5;30am and i can feel it. i can feel the waves are going off on the north shore. so i’m out of here!!! hey, i just seen some waves in town too. waves everywhere? yeah!!! everybody go surf!!! see you in the water…

meet the 44th president of the United States of America…. BARACK OBAMA…. i was watching the news yesterday and had tears in my eyes when i seen people celebrating obama’s win. it feels like a new years celebration. people screaming and celebrating on the streets all over america. since when did we get so excited on a new president? not in my lifetime. there were people on the other side of the world in kenya, africa jumping around in joy when obama won. that’s what we need in this world. it’s time for everybody to come together!!! and i mean EVERYBODY…

close ties to hawaii. check him out eating a shave ice. that’s local style…

and check him out taking a stroll down the beach with his kids. that’s local style…

and nothing is more local than this. bodysurfing sandy beach?? your kidding me. i’m proud of this president and so is everybody in hawaii….

this is the coolest tshirt. where can i get one? 70% of people in hawaii voted for obama. hawaii for obama…
**and last, Yes WE Can. watch this video and you will feel like you can too. gosh, i’ve never ever in my whole life felt more proud to be an american. YES WE CAN….
