A beautiful day!

good morning. just went through some old photos i had in a folder on my desktop. figure to put them on my blog before i delete it. but first, how’s the waves been? OMG! the past 2 days were sooo beautiful. not too big, not too small, and perfect conditions. been loving it spending 4-5 hours/day in the ocean. totally sunburned, but totally happy. i just wonder how long i can do this for? anyway, for now, check out some old pics…

Go-Naminori started in 2006. yeah, over 6 years ago! my old school friends made me a surprise bbq to congratulate the start of something so successful. wow, seemed like yesterday. good friends are very important!

in 2005, i went to bali with my high school surfer friends. we surfed, we partied, we ate, we laughed, and we visited this orphanage to donate toys and school supplies for the kids that didn’t have any parents. it was kind of sad leaving the place.

everybody needs love. i will never forget the kids faces as we were passing out the goodies. they were soooo happy!

everybody asks me, “hey kirby, how’s your boat?” my answer? “i don’t remember what it looked like.” i really miss diving, miss catching dinner, and miss eating tako poke.

i think this was 5 years ago halloween. yeah, we went walking around in waikiki like this. know which one is me?
