good evening. gosh, you won’t be able to find me in the dark now. unless i smile. yeah, i’m as black as can be. the only thing white on me are my teeth. even my eyes are sunburned…. we left the yacht harbor early this morning and headed straight to big rights. the waves came down a little from yesterday but it was still solid 4′ and perfect. shot a few photos of the boys, then grabbed my board and caught a few good ones. also busted out my video camera too so a video clip will be up tomorrow morning. but for now, check out our awesome session….
this is the kid sheldon i took surfing the other day. he and isaiah paddled out this morning and destroyed big rights. he paddled out, did snaps, airs, and got barreled on every wave. remember this kid because if he stays on the right track, he’ll be the next sunny garcia coming out of the west side… check out this snap. i didn’t know that kids are supposed to do these….
even craig sako was getting barreled today. craig is the chef at orchids restaurant in the halekulani hotel. he’s heading to japan in october with chef marvo for a 2 week cooking tour. i wish i can go with them. hey, i can cut the potatos and onions. and wash dishes too….
i took so many good photos of jun jo this summer. this is a throw away photo because i have a lot more better ones. good surfers are easy to shoot. and jun is a good surfer….
shun waxed up his brand new tssc matchi shaped 5’0 and charged big rights. the boys gave him a couple sets and he didn’t hold back. check this little kid doing the occy bottom turn….
this is superman hayato on a super good wave. hayato came 3 days ago and caught more waves than a normal surfer does in a month here. 3 days and surfed out. he can’t wait till the waves get flat so we can go diving… yeah, me too…
after 20 years, i finally found one japanese surfer that doesn’t know who shuji kasuya is. that’s shun murakami. shun was talking to shuji this morning and after when we were eating lunch, i asked shun if he knew who shuji is. he told me “who’s that?”… haha… hayato and i were cracking up….
if you want to take over the lineup at some spot, you better be able to surf. ronnie yamada can surf…
**wanted to thank all the boys at big rights for giving shun a couple of sets. i took 200 photos of everybody and the gallery should be up in a day or two. depending on the waves right? haha… got some sick photos and your going to be stoked…. stay tuned on GO-NAMINORI….
**also have so many more photos and videos to post but too dam busy and too many things happening here. it’s all on my desktop and it’s coming soon. depending on the waves right? haha…. 3 more south swells on the way….
