went on a full on shopping spree yesterday. Asayama-san needed shoes and clothes so i took him at the best time. the sale after the 4th of july sale!
i told him i’m a professional traveler so my recommendations for shoes are “sketchers.” i climbed the highest mountain in guatamala with sketcher sneakers and it didn’t let me down. and it’s very light and very cheap so you can’t go wrong.
then we went to buy short pants and now is the best time because it’s mid summer and the stores want to get rid of it to make room for the fall line. so the same shorts that cost $80 last month is now 60% off! Asayama-san bought 2, i bought 3. haha. i ended up buying more stuff and spent more money than him. haha.
dim sum in chinatown is my favorite.
we ate so much!
and planning this weeks dinner so needed some fresh fish.
i think it’s so funny that nobody ever believed me that there are tiger sharks in waikiki. now you should because here is the proof. i was thinking of calling the lifeguards to post signs on the beach, but that wouldn’t make any sense because there are tiger sharks swimming around every single day. it’s their home and we are the visitors.
there is a korean store 2 minutes away from my house. they sell the best marinated meat and chicken there. check out the kalbi. it was so good!
so happy to see free diving spreading to japan. good girl Saori-san!

Ala Moana Shopping Spree
July 6, 2016 Hawaii Surf Report
Asayama Taro!
Good morning 5:15am.
Ala Moana waist high and clean.
Diamond Head chest high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 20mph.
Sun, clouds, showers, and rainbows.
Going surfing morning till evening.
Have a beautiful day!
Waikiki Tiger Shark Alert!
had an awesome time with the boys celebrating 4th of july last night. Reid, Jason, and Carter. nice time bbq and talking story guys!
day 3 for Asayama-san this morning. just training to be relaxed, confident, and focused. why? because there is a big swell coming very soon!
Asayama-san doesn’t like to go left so i made him go left all day long. if you get better going left, you will get better going right. it’s that simple.
then had a great lunch in china town, then headed off into the rainbow for our evening free dive.
it was getting dark and this is my favorite time because it’s feeding time for fish. and it’s dark underwater so the fish can’t see you. but sometimes you can’t see them.
a newborn free diver at 67 years old? awesome!
Asayama-san feeling super comfortable underwater. super stoked for him.
i spear some sashimi for us. then as we do some more free diving, i could sense something weird.
then i see a shadow under me. probably because i’m holding a dead fish. i dive down to check it out and as i got nearer, it turned towards me. then i seen the stripes! OMG! SHIT! TIGER SHARK!!!!
then went to eat some sushi and have a beer talking about the coolest day ever. to swim with a tiger shark is very lucky. Asayama-san told me “what do you mean lucky????” haha.
