good chilly evening. gosh, is this hawaii or what? it was so dark and cold today. i felt like i was in the middle of winter in japan or something. it was freezing cold for me and there was no way i was going in the water today. not after freezing my ass off all day yesterday with a full suit on. i think this is the coldest winter ever recorded in hawaii. both air and water temperature…[:???:][:???:][:???:]
we were up at the ilikai hotel on the 44th floor. the view was freaking amazing. bowls was perfect… someday i hope to have a million dollar view like that everyday….
ala wai yacht harbor is for members only. and members we were today. it feels so good to be special. and the food was so dam good…
i ordered the 10oz. steak plate with potato salad and french fries. oh my gosh…. so good….
takahashi-san cracks me up. no matter where we are, we’re going to have fun… and i mean a lot of fun…. i’m getting ready for dinner now and i have a feeling that we are all going to wake up with headaches tomorrow morning. but it’s all good….
**i just got an email from don king. he sent me a video clip of myself getting barreled at backdoor like 10 years ago. don king is the best water videographer in the world and everybody knows that. so when i opened up the file, i was pretty dam excited. and after i watched it, i almost pissed in my pants. after all, nothing in surfing beats getting a stand up barrel at backdoor. nothing!!!! thanks so much don king!! you made me so happy!!! i’m going to hold my drink up high tonight… cheers….[:?????????:][:?????????:]
