good evening. heard my nephew isaiah was in the T&C Grom contest AirShow at queen’s so i was down there. the waves were going off. perfect queen’s for the groms. check out some photos and a gallery coming soon….

to the left, to the left….[:????$B”L(B?:][:????$B”L(B?:] yeah, queen’s has a pretty dam good left. check out this grom going backside like he’s taking a drop at second reef pipeline. overhead? for sure….

i love this photo. check out the determination of the kid in the fronts face. check his eyes… reminds me of me when i was a grom. and i sometimes still look like that when i’m taking off at backdoor… haha…

kalani david, ezekial lau, keanu asing, and isaiah moniz was in the air show. $1,000 prize money for best air. in that heat, isaiah got it for sure. but uncle missed that photo.. sorry.. this is overall winner kalani david getting ready to launch…

keanu asing rips. this kid got a pretty good future ahead of him. he and my other nephew micah jumped on a plane and headed to tahiti today for 2 weeks. they are going to come back as, MEN…..

even though there aren’t too many japanese tourist these days, hawaii is still a favorite tourist destination. just ask all these europeans on the beach this morning… paradise baby…

and i saved the best photo for last. check out this kid doing the kelly slater rail grab cutback. even looks better than kelly slater and this kids probably only 10 years old. shit, i can’t even do that. future fin ad? o’neill ad? pyzel ad? t&c contest ad? surfer cover shot? best grom photo ever? all possible. i just did a close up cropped and this photo is nuts… crazy nuts…
**hey, if you missed the documentary “Rokkasho Rhapsody” today, better not miss it tomorrow. got this email from ryo. ryo has been pushing the documentary in hawaii for the past month and if it wasn’t for him, we probably would never see it. they had a special on KGMB9 news last night and now i know more on what’s happening. up until now, everything was explained to me in japanese so i missed important points. after watching the news, i know more on what’s happening and more of what has to be done. things like this happen far away but will affect the whole world. so once again, no excuses. see you at the UH tomorrow at 2pm for the showing. it’s time to know the truth….

when i was checking the waves, i seen this black thing moving on the beach. i looked good and it was a hawaiian monk seal. look good between the trees… went down with a cooler and offered him a beer but he refused. he wanted to sleep and be left alone… i know how that feels….
