good evening. OMG, the weather was terrible today! i had planned a whole day photo shoot but because of the rain, it was cancelled. yeah, i could have done it, but there is no way i want to take dark gloomy photos so i will try again next week. well, weather permitting. it supposed to get even more windier and continue to rain for the next 5 days. i’m starting to feel sorry for the tourists in hawaii now because it full on winter now. rain, clouds, and cold! yuck! small north/west swell next week, and small south/west swell tomorrow is forecasted. have a wet wonderful evening!

ok, i put myself into photographer mode. pack my camera and head to the west side. i couldn’t believe how good makaha was. by far, the best and cleanest spot on the island. 3′ sets and perfect! the only bummer thing is i didn’t have my surfboard! kurushi!

if the sun was out and the sky was blue, this photo could have been a postcard. oh well, try next time.

driving back to town looked like this. wet, windy, and cold. i hope tomorrow will be a better and brighter day.

rainbows everyday for the past months. you have to love that!

the ASP just came out with the 2013 World Champion Tour and they added Keramas in Bali. wow, i remember going to bali 20 years ago and keramas never even existed. yeah, nobody knew about it. now, the whole world knows about keramas. a perfect right point barrel that is good from 2-6′. perfect for competition.
check out the new tour of events. want to guess who will be the 2013 world champion? i’ll put my money on John John Florance from hawaii. this million dollar kid is the real thing!
