good morning. 6:30am. 2-3′ on the north shore. rocky point looks pretty good with 5 guys out. in town, bowls is chest/shoulder high with 8 guys out. clean condtions with light trade winds. i’m going surfing…. have a nice day… **oh, about that hot filipino chick on my blog last night. his name is “Tom”…. and i ain’t kidding….. haha…
something is wrong with our world. seems like every country in the world is strange now. weird weather and weird things happening. perhaps “global warming”?? it’s november 8th today and we haven’t had a single HIGH SURF ADVISORY for our north shores. instead, we got a few high surf advisories and even a high surf warning for the south shores. and when i went to the outer islands in bali last month, the water was freezing cold. yeah, freezing cold water in bali. i had a 2mm full suit and it was still cold. up until this year, i use to rush back to hawaii in late september or early october to catch the early north shore swells before the circus gets here. this year, i got back here late and i didn’t miss a thing. are our winter seasons getting pushed back 2 months? that’s what happened last year. could we have 3 solid north/west swells in april again? what ever happens, i’m getting a little worried. for the past few years, seems like there’s records being broken in every aspect of our weather. could it snow one day in waikiki? could the eddie aikau contest waimea bay contest be held in april? if you asked me that 10 years ago, i’d say your crazy. now, i don’t know. and if it did, i wouldn’t be surprised… anyway, gas is $3/gallon, the yen is 113 to the dollar. good time to get some gas and buy some dollars….
**here is nada sou sou hawaiian style. sang by keali’i raichel and it’s called “Ka Nohona Pili Kai” from the album “Ke’Alaokamaile”. i went to his concert a few years ago and when he sang this, i got goose bumps. i remember him saying that this was such a beautiful song he heard in okinawa so he decided to translate it to hawaiian. it goes like this….
**and wanted to say thanks to holli for sending me this link. yes, holli is okinawan and really proud of it. so is every single okinawan i know of, both in hawaii and japan. if i was okinawan, i would be proud to. i love everything that has to do with okinawa. and i learned that by spending a lot of time there. the people, the food, and the culture. awesome place to visit and if you haven’t been there before, your missing out. i know some hawaiians that got stationed there in the military and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else….. so to all you higa’s, oshiro’s, and other japanese/americans, i mean okinawan/americans in hawaii, get to your roots and get your ass to okinawa. you won’t regret it…
