good morning. 6:45am aloha friday. where is that south swell?? gosh, the waves are small today. i guess everybody is spoiled so pretty much over it. gosh, feel like surfing…. leaving the house and going to check everywhere. maybe see you out…. oh, 20 guys out at bowls now, and 18 out at the park. i just heard the surf report now and they are calling it 3-5′???? your kidding me…. have a nice day…

ok, here it is again. a must see documentary about the newest nuclear power processing plant in japan. it’s showing 3x in hawaii so no excuses. i’m probably going to the sunday show so hope to see you there….

here’s the synopsis, map, and showing times. all the information you need. it’s our future….
**here’s another shot of the boys the other day. i’ll probably bump into them today again… yeah, hawaii is that small and when the waves are good, everybody ends up at the same spot….

good evening. flat waves is perfect for diving. so off to the east side it was… gosh, the conditions were epic. for diving that is…

glassy conditions on the east side are rare. so when the winds are down, better get on it. yeah, heard there are still huge tiger sharks hanging around after eating that dead whale but it was just too perfect today… i just took precaution and didn’t put the fish i caught on my belt. i kept it far away so if a hungry shark wanted it, he could have it…..

i met randy in hanapaa. he was a friend of a friend and we’ve been diving ever since then. he’s like a kumu magnet because he always catches the big ones. that red fish on the bottom right corner is a big kumu. and yeah, randy caught it…. but not a bad catch for 2 guys yeah?? fish all week again….

flying back is refreshing. my boat goes 26mph and it feels good with the wind in my face… and the fish in the cooler. that’s chinaman’s hat in the background….

i hardly see these. this is a “nohu” or scorpion fish. i heard you could die if you step on one. really? take off the poison fins and it’s all good in the steamer. i love this fish, until it pokes me…. ouch…. by the way, it weighed over 5lbs….
**i was checking the waves in town this evening. it look like it came up. maybe 2 inches? yeah, the new south swell isn’t here and hopefully when i wake up tomorrow morning, it will. but if it aint, might have to go diving again…. waves or no waves, this guy is happy…. i’m going to take a deep breath, and fall asleep… [:Zzz:][:Zzz:]

good morning. waves super small around the island. great day for a dive. so a dive it is…. have a nice day…

this is yukiko and friend. if you haven’t met yukiko before, let me introduce her. yukiko surfs kewalo’s everyday and surfs it pretty dam good. she won the state contest last year in hawaii and got her pro license for the JPSA tour in japan this year. she’s one cool surfer girl….

i dive kewalo’s a lot of times and as soon as i jump in the water with my spear, the fish are gone. they are pretty spooked and know what’s up. but when you don’t have a spear, they swim right up to you. if i had my spear yesterday, i could have caught 3 uhu’s. but then again, if i had my spear, those fish wouldn’t have been there. maybe i’ll hide my spear in my pocket next time….

my nephews and their friends hang around the beach all day. this day, they made a little contest out at kewalo’s and they were pretty serious about it…. game on….
**i got this photo from bobby and all he said was “WTF”. know what that means?? “what the f@&K. yeah, i said the same thing too….. WTF….
