good evening. small waves around the island today. surfed bowls this morning. knee/waist high but not flat. actually had a fun session… on the way home, kazuko-san told me there were some ono pineapple malasadas at leonard’s bakery so i stopped by to pick some up. the guy told me that was last months special. this months special was the mango malasadas. even better. it was so good….

i see this car all the time in the bowls parking lot. this is what you call a surf mobile….

when i went to check out queen’s this morning. there was this japanese lady and husband walking near the nice grass area. the lady put down her purse and started doing the hula. gosh, it was pretty cool. she must have been in her 60’s but looked as happy as can be. she danced a few songs, picked up her bag, and walked on. only in hawaii….

the first day of the volcome VQS contest went off today. heard the waves were small but big enough for seth and isaiah to make their heats. micah told me seth ripped and won his heat. he’s only 10 but surfing against the best 14 year old groms in the world. 2nd round tomorrow. kelia and nao surf tomorrow too. good luck guys and girls. kelia is in heat 3 and nao is in heat 9. their division is at 7:45am-10.15am tomorrow morning. california is 3 hours ahead of hawaii so wake up early if you want to see the heats. if you in japan, the girls division starts at 11:45pm tonight japan time. support the girls and boys….

**and last, check out seth’s first experience with a japanese toilet…. classic….

good aloha friday. 6:45am and small surf around the island. north shore is flat, town has knee/waist high wind swell waves. nobody’s out at rockpiles and 4 guys out at bowls. diamond head will probably be the best spot again this afternoon when the tide fills in. just watch out for those wind surfers and kite surfers. looks sunny outside so get out and enjoy this beautiful day. i’m going surfing. see you in the water….

check out this photo i took last winter at backdoor. check out the launching pad and spray in the sun… this is a small jpeg file but the original photo looks sick… this is reef macintosh going big!!! it’s so funny how you get the coolest photos on the smallest days of surf…

and here’s another cool one. this is seth cutting back at backdoor. he’s got a photographer on both sides… i would love to see the other guys photo. must be a cool angle…
**the WCT billabong pro waiting period starts today. it’s postponed due to small surf. keep on checking back by clicking on BILLABONGPRO.COM….

good evening. the winds today picked up twice as much compared to yesterday. but if you still wanted to surf some fun waves, diamond head was the spot. i surfed bowls this morning. 3 guys out. it was waist high and perfect. then surfed diamond head lighthouse this afternoon. 3 guys out. shoulder high and super choppy but i had a great time. i guess windy waves is more challenging because when you pick a good one, your stoked… more windy waves until sunday so better get use to it. no south swells or north swells on the way either so better get use to that too. i’m just happy to be able to surf uncrowded waves here in hawaii…
**gosh, i was walking around the streets of bangkok and was tripping out on how beautiful the women there were. all my friends told me that thailand has the most beautiful women in the world… i didn’t want to get arrested taking photos of girls so i took these off the web. check it out…..

this girl will turn any of the boys heads if she walked into a club in hawaii… and if you said no way, your lying….

those are real. hey, i’m talking about her eyes…

those are real too. hey, i’m talking about her ear rings…
**so there it is, 3 beautiful thailand girls right? WRONG….. these are “Ladyboys”…. yeah, ladies that are really boys. don’t believe me? you better or else i’ll send you the bottom parts of the photos i cut off. then you might throw up…. if my blog wasn’t rated PG, i would post it. and my mom won’t be too happy about it. haha…. but it’s pretty funny because “Ladyboys” are all over thailand and you won’t be able to tell the difference, especially the ones that get the full operations. i don’t know why they do it, but what ever makes them happy, it’s all good…. the funny thing is when i got back to hawaii, all my female friends started to look like boys to me… haha… just joking… have a great evening and better check your girl again… haha….
