had a super fun morning session with Mitsutoku-san. we ended up surfing the west side with some of the most heaviest locals in the world. caught some good waves and had a pretty crazy experience. the dolphins were jumping, the waves were pumping, and that was a good choice to surf the wild wild west. a great surfer and a great person! enjoy the rest of your hawaii vacation and when you get back to japan, please tell all your river mouth locals i said hello and hope to see you soon.

then i came back into town and had a team Inaida-san session. i took this photo as i entered the water behind my wonderful group of 7. the waves were fun, the surfing was good, and the gopro hero 3 video was awesome. what a wonderful group of surfers are all living the dream life.

last, ford just introduced the new Atlas truck for 2014. what do you think? i kind of like it!

Shoulder high and side shore winds.
Only 1 surfer out.

Can you do this? This is talent!
Good morning 5:10am.
North shore coming down. 3-5′ sets in the morning coming down to 2-4′ this afternoon.
Strong North/East winds making side onshore conditions. Morning sickness.
South shore small but super fun. Waist high at Ala Moana and clean conditions in the afternoon.
Diamond Head a little bigger but side onshore wind.
Weather is cloudy, rainy, and lots of rainbows all day.
I’m going surfing! North and South!
Have a wonderful day and see you in the water!
