Self Service Gun Repair

Gen needed to tune up his gun so he came over.

most of the good spearguns are made out of teak wood.  so if you take care of it, it will take care of you forever.

i could have done it for Gen, but he wouldn’t learn a thing.  so now that he did it himself, he can do it forever.  now his old speargun looks brand new again.  and as you can see, he’s happy about that…

a good surfer, a good diver, and just an all around good kid…

as for me, i’ve been foiling.  went this afternoon with Carter and it was super fun.  new South swell?  i think so!  waves came up and expect some head high surf tomorrow.  see you in the water!

6am First Light…

found this photo of Nakahodo-san on my desktop.  getting barreled right before the Hawaii Lockdown!  he left Hawaii right in time!  the Moniz family is growing and there will be many more little ones to follow…6am:  early morning at Bowls.  the sun is just about to peak over Diamond Head. 6am:  meanwhile, the sun is already up at Diamond Head making for epic photos like this.  in a month from now, i’ll stand at this same spot and take a photo.  expect the craziness back…with the 14 day quarantine law still in effect, tourist are getting arrested for breaking it.  the police are enforcing the law, and the locals are on watch.  if you get caught, you will go to jail.  and if some angry local sees you break the law, he might beat you up. and i won’t blame him.  and i won’t help you either.  so yeah, tourists please don’t come to Hawaii yet.  just wait a little while longer…
