i was watching some heats of the backdoor masters in the comfort of my house. this is my favorite for this contest. shane dorian is super cool, surfs really good, and hunts big pigs with his bow and arrow. he deserves to win…
i stopped by to see roma and taku at their hotel in waikiki. 6 year and 8 year old surfer groms from kugenuma, japan. till this day, i haven’t met any kids that have more energy then those 2 boys. by the way, the guy in the middle is my 24 year old younger brother. haha… just joking. i just got a fresh haircut and i’m feeling kind of fresh….
check out this photo of a guy wakeboarding in the canal in venice, italy. pretty cool shot….
last, i told the guy in okinawa that we don’t have big lobsters in hawaii. i lied. i totally forgot about this photo of one of the biggest lobsters i grabbed. kenji sahara took it at the dove house about 5 winter seasons ago. here’s the story. i went for a surf at ehukai sandbar one afternoon. i did a floater and seen this lobster swimming in the wave. so i dove off my board and tried to grab it. it was too fast, but then it did a cutback and i was able to grab the head. huh? do you actually believe that? haha. actually, i caught that lobster in 45′ deep water on the 3rd reef pipeline. then we had a lobster sashimi party after. if kenji didn’t take this photo, i would have forgotten about it. i might have to go back to the lobster hole again soon….
