good morning. 6:15am. waves FLAT in town. and super small on the north shore. maybe some 2 footers? the conditions are really clean all over with these light winds. busting out my small board and going surfing somewhere. maybe diamond head? anyway, have a nice day… oh, and how’s that? UH WARRIORS #12 IN THE NATION!!! YEAH!!!!
this was the ledge we were diving the other day in waikiki. it was loaded with fish and turtles. brandon found it first and told me there was a little 3′ shark inside it. i went down a couple times trying to spear this uhu and all of a sudden, this thick 8′ shark came out to check me out. he seemed pretty pissed off because he was swimming fast and jerking around. that’s not a good sign. he circled around once and went back in the ledge. brandon was throwing chum off the boat to get the shark out and for other fish to come around. the shark didn’t come out but some nice size papio’s and uku’s came by. i speared one but it came off. then another one came by and my brother speared it….
we grabbed a few good size tako’s too. when you grab them, they try to climb up your arm. if they get to your mask, your in trouble. so the best thing to do is keep the tentacles from climbing up your arm. then get your knife out and stab it between the eyes. of if you don’t have a knife, bite it between the eyes. it will turn white and die. then go home and make tako poke….. umm…..
on my last drop, i came down to the bottom pretty fast so i put my hand out to stop me from hitting the bottom. i didn’t look good and ended up putting my hand down on a huge vana. ouch!!! like 10 spines went through my glove and deep into my hand. it stung so bad. no vinegar on the boat so the next best thing is urine. yes, piss. i wasn’t about to let anybody piss on my hand so i had to do it myself. imagine a tourist looking out from their hotel room and seeing someone on a boat pissing on his own hand? haha. i was thinking about that… but it worked. my magic piss dissolved most of the spines but there are still some deep inside. and it hurts like heck….
this was the waikiki catch. shane even speared an opelu. have you ever eaten that sashimi style? oh my gosh… so good…. and check out that budweiser fish. taste good after a dive…[:?????????:][:?????????:][:?????????:]
