today was Nao-san’s last day of her surfing vacation. i have to say that not only did her surfing improve so much, so did her life. already a happy girl, i could feel that she left even happier. going with the flow in and out of the ocean. had a great time with you Nao-san! amazing progress..
i see rainbows every morning and evening because i live in the rain. but today, it was Nao-san’s first rainbow sighting of her trip. and it was a big one! 
so i had to get the photo of her surfing with the rainbow. happy colorful face that is glowing! this is how you enjoy surfing, and this is how you enjoy life…
i saw my friend and his daughter out surfing today. the cutest 11 year old named Sarah. just watching her smile while surfing brought happiness to us all. this is what surfing is all about…
then back out this evening. seen my friend Ronnie out there. we had a good talk about Seth in Australia. Ronnie said he was drinking beers and yelling to his computer when he was watching it. haha. i’ve been getting a lot of comments about Seth’s performance. comments from friends, and comments from total strangers. i want to thank all you guys for the love and support. i’m sure Seth feels the “mana” coming from Hawaii…
after being stuck in the Waikiki traffic, Dr. Ryu-san and i finally made it out to the ocean. and with the upcoming tide and upcoming swell, we couldn’t have picked a better time. absolutely perfect rides! guess how i got this beautiful photo? yup, my foil! 
a local fisherman was caught with illegal fishing nets at Sand Island. over 1000′ of these nets that are totally illegal here in Hawaii. i’m glad the police caught him because this is the reason why there is no more fish on Oahu! 
i’m wondering how many fish this guy has caught in the past. a very scary thought. but now that they caught him, these nets well be burned. 
to see baby fish like this that are illegal size is so sad. the guys name is all over social media and the local fishing community is pissed off! shame on you!!!
