Opps, I forgot to push the post button so this one didn’t upload.  It’s from February 24, 2025 which seems like years ago.

I got up really early this morning and one part of me said to go to the North shore.  The other part said to take it slow today.  So I listened to the smarter part of me.  Just a friend and I got to enjoy another morning at a secret spot.  Nobody out and perfect head high waves with lots of power.  

The waves were so good that I could do 4 turns on every wave.  It felt pretty good being so free.  

I came home and heard the news of another experienced surfer getting hurt at Pipeline this morning.  He hit his head on the reef and went unconscious.  The lifeguards gave him CPR on the beach and bought him back to life.  He was rushed to the hospital and we are all hoping for the best.  I won’t say his name out of respect for his family.  Seeing things like this is hard if you surf out there because this can happen to anyone and anytime.  I thought about this all day long…

Freedive Hawaii!

Good morning 4:20am.
North shore chest high and good.
Ala Moana waist high and bumpy.
Diamond Head chest high and bumpy.
South/East winds at 15mph.
Cloudy and rainy.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

It’s so crazy how things grow so fast here in the valley.  Everything is really green and you don’t even have to water your plants.  The morning showers takes care of that.  Check out the lemon on the tree I just got!  It turned yellow today!

It’s been 12 years of pure happiness.  When I first brought Mayuki home, I was the happiest man in the world.  I still remember that day clearly because it was a dream come true.  This is and will always be my dream boat.

This was the very first time I took her out.  The mechanic who built the boat was with me because he was supposed to teach me how to drive it.  Once we left the harbor, I pushed full throttle and started jumping over waves as the guy was holding on for his dear life.  He must have thought I was crazy!  Yes, I was crazy happy!  When we got back to the harbor, he got off the boat, didn’t say anything, and walked back to his car.  That was the last time I seen or heard from him.  I think he was in shock.  Haha.
