My friend has the same boat as Mayuki.  When ever I see him out in the open ocean flying over waves, I’m mesmerized.  This is the best ride you’ll get out of any 23′ boat in the rough Hawaiian waters.

This dive watch records depth and bottom time.  I put it on for the last part of the blue water day because I thought I was going too deep at times.  All you see is deep blue so it’s hard to gauge depth.  This will bring you back to reality really fast because if you look at it and it tells you that you’re approaching 100′, you better start thinking about making your way back up to the surface.

Building muscle memory is the correct way to teach someone how to surf.  It takes time to build muscle memory, but once you get there, it’s a much faster path to doing turns like this.  It literally takes a couple of days to go from intermediate level to super advanced like this.

Yesterday once more:  Jerome at first light…

Good morning 4:40am.
Ala Moana waist high and good.
Diamond Head chest high and bumpy.
Light trade winds at 15mph.
Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

I just got home from a very long day and was wondering what to eat for dinner.  Then Nephew came over to drop off a fresh piece of ahi for sashimi.  He said Seth and Benji caught a couple big ahi’s so this is as fresh as it can get.  Made some rice and miso soup and had the best meal!  Thank you boys!

Another beautiful morning at Bowls.  Smaller waves but still super fun.

The 2 girls catching waves as one goes right, and one goes left.  They learned how one wave can make two people happy.

Everyday we try to make our surfing better.  Today we were learning how to use our toes and heals when turning.  It’s crazy how fast you can see the results.

When I caught this tako, it squirted black ink in my face and turned its own body black to match the ink color.

At this point, I can’t see the tako anymore as it starts swimming down to the bottom of the ocean.  Once it reaches the reef, the body color automatically changes into a light sandy color to blend in.  It literally disappears right in front of your eyes.  Pretty smart!
