Big Samoan Crab….

227


good evening. what another beautiful day it was in hawaii. i drove thru waikiki to check out the china uemura contest. those guys are freakin scoring perfect waves. i wish i could surf queen’s with 4 guys out in the water. that’s like a dream…. anyway, i have to get my suitcase out and start putting things in it. i have an early flight tomorrow and am thinking of catching a few waves at dawn before i head to the airport. ummm…. anyway, have a great night….

china town is a great place to buy fruits. before it use to be kind of dangerous going down there but now that all the police are patrolling everywhere, it’s pretty safe. just don’t j-walk anymore because you will get a ticket. and make sure you park your car right or you will get a ticket too. follow the rules down there!!!

watching the kids surfing on this big board is cool. it’s a team effort and everybody has to do his or her part to make it happen….

one of the locals at kewalo’s caught 2 big samoan crabs. if you ever got pinched by one of these, you will lose your finger for sure… be very careful….

the samoan crab is similar to the mangrove crabs you find in indonesian and the philippines. boil it, dip it in butter, and enjoy every bite!!! can’t beat it….

and last, wanted to wish shun’s younger brother ren-kun a happy birthday!!! i think he turns 9 or 10 years old. watch out for this kid because his surfing is getting better and better….. and also wanted to say hello to everybody at yugawara!!! hope to see you guys soon….
