i worked all day, got home at 6:15, changed, and headed down to the Cure concert! i still had water in my ears and sand on my feet. but hey, who cares? we get in and find our seats. i knew this was our assigned seats, but i also knew we won’t be here for too long. it was just way too far.

made multiple beer runs. so cool bumping into all my old school friends. guys i haven’t seen for years, but we all knew where to come on this night. i bought 8 32oz. beers so that’s like 16 regular beers. Carter bought 8 too. so we had a total of 32 beers!!! where did it all go??? haha.

it was an amazing concert. the older crowd of us acting like teenagers! the Cure was huge back in the 80’s and there are so many great memories attached to each and every song.

so after a couple of beers, it was time to make our way to the front. umm, still a little too far.

so we creeped up a little more and ended up in Row 5! we stayed there all night long! it was the best seats in the house and it was standing room only!

check out our view. omg, chicken skin all night!

they had encore after encore. totaling 9 more songs. so lucky!

these 2 puerto rican ladies were sitting next to us and jumping and dancing up and down the isles. it was hilarious! that’s what good music can do to people. i must have jumped up and down a thousand times. haha.

adding to all the beers, i forgot about the 4 little bottles of jacksan. haha.

no way i was taking a chance to drive home so i called uber. got home after midnight, slept at 1am, and woke up at 5am feeling like a kid again! went to work with the Cure songs still in my head. can’t wait for the next concert!

Dreams Come True! My new toy! So happy and so stoked! Going for a ride today!
Good morning 5:40am.
Ala Moana waist to chest high and clean.
Diamond Head chest high and clean.
Light winds today so clean morning conditions. Onshore in the afternoon. Clouds, sun, and heavy rain. Unpredictable weather.
Going surfing, cruising, and Kahuku Shrimp!
Have a wonderful day!

another amazing surf day. 6 hours of surfing and 2 rounds for me! perfect waves and perfect rides for Asayama-san this morning.

so stoked to see someone enjoying surfing and hawaii so much. you can always see it in the smile.

round 2 was in the afternoon. seen a dark cloud coming and when it hit us, it dumped buckets of rain. it was so beautiful! hasn’t rained for a long time so i was so happy!

Michi-san rode a shorter board and rode bigger waves. she was surfing perfectly again!

laughing in the rain. i love it because it’s way cooler and no sunburn. also nobody around because most people stay home when it rains. it was so empty this afternoon. couldn’t believe it was sunday afternoon.

how cool is this photo? i love it!

then the rain stopped and the conditions were perfect. no wind and super glassy. awesome surfing again Michi-san!

then the sun came out and there were rainbows everywhere! i had another amazing day! going to do it all over again tomorrow! good night.
