good evening. today was the first time in a long time that i could really surf. i mean surf a good wave without wearing a hat or sunglasses. i actually felt kind of naked… the waves at laniakea were pretty fun. i got so many fun waves. felt pretty dam good..
you know when lani’s is crowded when you can’t find parking. and when there are so many surfers crossing the streets…
i went to stop by the contest to watch some heats. sunny garcia, joel centaio, and some of the other hawaiian boys were ripping… the waves were 3′ and breaking rights and lefts. want to congratulate carissa moore for winning the womens division. go hawaii!!
last night i went to a new japanese restaurant with some friends. it’s called Bonsai and is located in the restaurant row. kind of japanese/local sushi and stuff. the hamachi sushi was pretty good….
the bar was pretty happening. live music, good food, and good vibe. i’ll probably go back there again soon…
and last, while i was in tahiti, my friend derek fixed my surfboards. derek is a perfectionist in everything he does so i knew he was going to do a good job. i had a big ding on my whole rail from somebody’s face hitting it but derek fixed it perfect. just like nothing happened…. so if you want the best ding repair on the island, send me an email and i’ll get your board fixed for a reasonable price. thanks derek….
** i was just watching the depressing news and the stock market crashed again today. put your seatbelts on because this isn’t the end of our world recession. spend wisely and put some of that paycheck in the bank. also, rain, rain, and rain on the way so don’t wash your car. have a great evening….
