gosh, this past week has been paradise in hawaii. perfect winds, perfect waves, and perfect weather. the official start of summer starts today and it feels like it’s been summer from a month ago. this is where i was eating my lunch today. it was so nice that i didn’t want to leave….

fried chicken with home made potato salad for lunch? all i have to say is “wow”…

here’s more shots from yesterday. i was sitting in the channel shooting big rights. sometimes, a sick left would come from concessions and there was this guy boosting some big airs. check this out!! almost as high as the buildings…

this is stan. stan’s been surfing the park for a long time. haven’t seen him in years but he was surfing like he surfs everyday. ripping. look at this photo good and tell me if stan isn’t happy. that’s surfing. can’t get a smile like that in an office, that’s for sure….

good morning. 6am aloha friday. gosh, finally looks like the waves came down. waist/chest high at bowls with 18 guys out. 30 guys out at the park. looks a little morning sickness but like the other days, should get good around 10am or so. couldn’t get a good sleep last night because a little worried about my boat. left it in the ala wai harbor last night so i better go down and see if everything is alright. gotta go… have a nice day….

when ever the waves are good in town, there are lines of surfers coming and going. guys, girls, kids, and everybody you could imagine. see that building behind? i would love to get a lineup shot from the 3rd floor looking out into the waves. if somebody lives in that building, please let me borrow the key. i want to get a lineup shot, and use the pool and jacuzzi… haha…

last night, i went to snappers in waikiki to watch russ and ciara sing live. it was about 9pm when this surfer chick walks in with her surfboard. gosh, i thought i was in bali or something…

check out some action from big rights yesterday. this is nick mita. i got some pretty good photos of him and the other guys but sent it off to the mags. sorry can’t show you those but these are the ones that they probably won’t use. still pretty nice….

it’s amazing how many fans shuji kasuya has here in hawaii. everywhere i go, people ask me about him. sometimes i tell them that he’s my brother. haha… just joking…

ronnie yamada’s been surfing the park longer than anybody else out there. that’s why he gets the best waves. enough said….
**anyway, another cool youtube video from yesterday coming soon. also, gallery from yesterday coming up soon on WWW.GO-NAMINORI.COM….. check back….

good evening. gosh, what a long ass day again. took my boat out this morning. took i surfed, took photos, took videos, and surfed. i left my house at 7:30am and got back at 4:30pm. i guess you can call it work? or can you?

i’m very fortunate to have membership at the Hawaii Yacht Harbor. i can leave my boat there, eat in the killer restaurant, and just hang out. today, i did all three….

this was my lunch. fresh fish burger with fries. oishi…. good and cheap….

and it was my lucky day. i found this ball going out to sea. i grabbed it and was super stoked to find out it was a diego ball. haha.. who the heck is diego?
