so happy to hear that Kelia Moniz formed an organization to give back to the kids. it’s called “With My Sister” and targets spreading family values and the love for children. they had a weekend event where hundreds of fans enrolled to spend a day with Kelia. only 14 lucky young girls were chosen from what i heard, and they all had a great time!
then Kelia had a signing event in waikiki. so many little fans showed up. waiting in line and getting a poster signed by the 2x world champion.
Kelia must have signed millions of things in her life but never too much for a little kid. she will drop anything to make a kid smile.
this is what love is all about. this is hawaiian style, and this kid will remember this hug forever.
i planned for weeks to get Mayuki out of the water. my friend let me borrow his trailer so i was lucky. to make a long story short, my original paint guy disappointed me. he called me the night before and started making all the excuses in the world. i told him forget it. now what do i do? so i call my brother and ask him if he knows anybody. he calls me back in 5 minutes and says “yup, my friend can do it.” wow, and my brother doesn’t have Facebook or instagram! haha. old school way of dialing the phone and making it happen. usually i screen guys but since it’s my brothers friend, i knew he would be good. and when i met him early yesterday morning, i knew he was the man. i seen him go to work and i was impressed. i started sanding too and joining in on the fun.
my brother can fix anything. the best mechanic on the island and i’m not saying that because he’s my brother. i’m saying that because everyone knows he is. he’ll fix your car in the most inexpensive and efficient way. other places will rip you off big time.
it’s crazy how things you can’t even see wear down so fast. these anodes are placed on the motor to protect the harder metals. if it weren’t for these, your motor would be eaten up alive.
brand new. it’s just one of the many things that has to be changed.
also have to change the impellers because maintenance is the key to a safe boat. my friend came down to check things out yesterday and asked me “wow, you have to do this every year? it must be so expensive?” i told her, “it’s very expensive to own a boat. it cost more per/year than dating a high maintenance girlfriend.” haha.

Flexable: Surf and Kava
omg, did you look at the ocean today? i sure did. the worst day in a very long time. 2 days ago, i knew it was going to be like this. pretty bad.
i was actually supposed to take Jun-san surfing today but the day before yesterday, i asked him to change it to yesterday. that turned out to be the best choice because yesterday was super fine! so fine that there were only the 2 of us surfing out at rock piles. we scored!
so stoked to surf with Jun-san for his first time in hawaii.
we paddled out at the perfect time. some fun waves and nobody else out. Jun-san surfs isounora in wakayama which is the most packed surf break in japan. so it must have felt so weird to surf in beautiful hawaii alone.
and the blue underwater world.
nice turn Jun-san!
come to find out, Jun-san knows so many of my kansai friends. Naohiro, Seigo-san, Ryosuke, Nahoko-san, Hitomi-chan, and so many more. what a small world! want to say hello to you all!
looking at diamond head watching the helicopter go by on the upper right. thinking about the crash the other day at pearl harbor, thinking about how accidents just happen. and also thinking about how life could end in just a flash. so sitting in the lineup in the beautiful ocean made me appreciate my life so much.
then we went to Diamond Head Cove Bar. seen my friend Paul there and he came over to pour us some freshly squeezed Kava. total local style to da max! thanks Paul!
Kava and acai bowl. the best in hawaii!
want to thank Jun-san and Kaco-san for the wonderful afternoon yesterday. so stoked to make my kansai world a much bigger and happier place. i’m sure i’ll see you guys around again soon. enjoy the rest of your trip and enjoy the hawaiian local lifestyle.
yesterday was a better day to surf because the waves were good. today was a better day to work on Mayuki because the waves were junk. doing a job like this is extremely stressful. and it would be more extremely stressful if the waves were good. luckily everything worked out perfectly for everyone. haha.
