good morning. 7am on this windy chilly wednesday morning. waves looking small out on the north shore. don’t see anybody out anywhere. town is flat. i’m going to drive around and look for a little uncrowded wave to surf. have a nice day….
i get a lot of comments on my destination travel bag. i got this about 5 years ago and use it all the time. it’s like a mini surfboard coffin. so much things can fit in it, including my long dive fins. the only thing about this bag is that when i’m traveling, it’s so versatile that some people want to use it for a cooler, or even a fish bag. no freaking way…
these are some of the goodies i took to tahiti. after a long day diving, it goes good with a few hinano’s…
and last, i’ve been looking around the world for a jack daniel’s flask. looked all over in hawaii, in japan, in indonesia, in thailand, and in the philippines but never found one. so when toda-san and takami-san gave this present, i almost cried…. thanks so much….
and last, traveling to third world countries really wakes me up. to see some of the living conditions that some people have to endure. and the sad thing is it’s not all their fault. you can’t say, “hey, go work”, or hey “it’s your fault”. some countries governments just don’t give the poor people a chance. a lot of them are born this way, and die this way. it’s sad and there’s no end to the world homeless problem…. so if you have a roof under your head, appreciate it….
