another beautiful day in the office. had an awesome 3 hour afternoon session with a cool surfer. better rides and bigger smiles!

waves dropped to the chest high range, but straight off shore winds making it absolutely perfect!

Chifumi-san always on the good ones.

Mai-san told me that people eat these birds in japan. really?

ok, they just revealed what the new trains will look like in hawaii. personally, i don’t like it. it just doesn’t match for some reason.

i don’t like to be a negative person, but i still don’t think this will work. why? because people in hawaii all drive cars and that won’t change. i don’t think i’ll ever use the train because once i get to the station, how the heck am i supposed to get around from there? wait for the bus that never comes on time?

inside looks clean for now. but wait until the teenager graffiti artists get their hands on the trains at night.

look good. starting at kapolei? ending at ala moana shopping center? and look in-between. umm, really?

the mayor went on tv and said “now the little kid from makaha can get on a train with his surfboard and go surf ala moana bowls. really? how the heck is that kid supposed to get to kapolei? hitchhike? $50 taxi ride? and why would a kid from makaha surf bowls when he has perfect waves like maile point, makaha, yokohama bay, and other beautiful secret spots out there? anyway, we shall see.

and heard about the new president of the philippines? this man by the name of Rodrigo Duterte won the election. he’s a former mayor that turned his dangerous city into one of the safest places in the philippines. and now he plans to clean up the whole entire country. here is a quote from his own mouth:
“Forget the laws on human rights. If I make it to the presidential palace, I will do just what I did as mayor. You drug pushers, hold-up men and do-nothings, you better go out. Because I’d kill you. I’ll dump all of you (criminals) into Manila Bay, and fatten all the fish there.”
he even told the media that if his own kids were doing drugs, he would kill them too. omg! this guy is scary!

want to thank Funaki-san, Mutsumi-san, and Ena-chan for the wonderful gifts!

and thank you for the anpanman for Mateus. i couldn’t wait to give it to him.

i came home and said “hey, somebody bought you a present!” close you eyes and i will give it to you.

he kept his eyes closed like a good boy.

then when he opened it, he was so happy to see anpanman!

look how happy this boy was! haha! so cute!!!

why can’t we stop the killing??? this is so senseless.

Mayweather vs. McGregor? no way, i don’t believe it.

heard about the football photo in the high school yearbook?

yes, #42 decided to pull out his penis and expose it for the yearbook photo. now he is facing jail time and is the labeled the stupidest kid in america. it’s so crazy how one mistake can cost you your future.

and heard about the malaysian girl that just got arrested? when she was 17 years old, a bank made a mistake and deposited $4.6m in her bank account. instead of reporting the mistake, she spent $3.3m in the first year. now 4 years later, she got arrested and is in big trouble. i actually feel a little sorry for her because when i was 17 years old, i probably would have done the same thing. but instead of buying luxury bags, i would have taken every single friend of mine on a dream surf trip. haha.

Wow! Amazing!
Good morning 5:45am.
Ala Moana chest high and perfect.
Diamond Head shoulder high and nice.
Light trade winds at 15mph.
Sunny, clouds, showers, and rainbows.
Going surfing.
Have a wonderful day!
