Beautiful People = Beautiful Photos….

good evening. i kind of feel like surfing but not really. do you know what i mean? don’t call me spoiled but i’m going on another boat trip this weekend and i’m still kind of surfed out from my the other one. so i decided what i will do this week, which is not to surf. i’m going to watch other people surf and get hungry again. 5 days of that will be more than enough for me to get that hunger again. so when i board the boat somewhere in the indian ocean, i will be ready. ready to surf all day for 8 days straight. but until then, i’ll just shoot photos of people enjoying hawaii….

3 years ago, i remember seeing this young girl surfing queen’s all the time when i use to go shoot kelia out there. i didn’t know her name back then but now i do. it’s haunani she’s surfing pretty dam good. watch out for this young girl….

maki-san is the coolest. she’s super hyped on surfing and when ever she catches a good wave, she’s smiling ear to ear. check her out ripping kaisers this morning. nice turn maki-san…

i have so many good photos of japanese surfing in hawaii throughout the years. enough to make a 100 page book. i’m going to keep the best shot i take of every friend that comes here. then one day, put it all in a book. so from now on, i won’t post the best shot on my blog because i want it to be a surprise. this morning, i finally got my best shot of takami-san. 3 sequences after this was the photo i’ve been waiting for…. stay tuned…

oh, wanted to thank toda-san for towing me out the past few sessions. instead of swimming all the way out there, toda-san has been pulling me out, and pulling me in. gosh, i feel so special…. thanks….

and last, i’ve been hooked on longon. it’s way better than lychee and cheaper too. i went to china town just to buy some. i bought 2 pounds and it’s going to be my dessert for the next 5 days….
