Welcome to Jellyfish Paradise in Hawaii!

205

 yesterday had the biggest influx of jellyfish ever seen in Hawaii.  so many people were getting stung but luckily not us… 900 plus stings and 5,000 jellyfish seen at Waikiki?  really?  i surfed Ala Moana and never even seen one jellyfish.   jellyfish or whatever, today was my last ocean day for a while so i decided to spend it in the ocean.  surfed this really good spot called “never minds.”  it was amazing!   then came in and ate at a local restaurant.  today’s special was deep fried akule.  or better known as “Aji” in Japan.   super fresh from the ocean, to the fryer, and to my plate.  i love akule!   and being the fisherman i am, i don’t waste a thing.  if i owned that restaurant, i would have deep fried these bones and ate it too.   then straight back to the ocean.  this time, i was there for 3 hours!  surfed in the morning, and foiled in the afternoon.  i surfed and foiled like it was my last day to live…  thank you Mia for sitting in the hot sun and taking these photos…omg, what i’m going to miss the most is the sensation of flying!  tomorrow early morning, i’ll be checking into the hospital, inhaling laughing gas, falling into a dream world, then they will pull my eye out and fix it.  when i wake up in the afternoon, i will be a one eye man for a little while.  that’s when my vacation officially starts!
