good evening. i drove by kahala mall at 3pm and seen people running the marathon. can you believe that? 10 hours later and still 5 miles away from the finish line. did they stop by and have lunch at burger king? haha. just joking. i can’t say anything because i didn’t run it. i drive out to hawaii kai all the time so i know how far it is. i don’t think in can do it but i might give it a try next year. anyway, the waves were terrible again today. winds changing so the tradewinds should be back by tomorrow. and hopefully they can get the pipe masters started. andy irons is in the first heat so don’t miss it.
it’s been raining so everything is so green. this plant at my house was almost dying a few weeks ago. now, it’s as healthy as can be. and next time you past diamond head, look how green it is. the greenest it’s ever been…
and check out the waves in japan. better than hawaii. i wish i was in that barrel…. check out the rest of the photos by nakajima on Go-Naminori.com….
**dolphins and turtles are the coolest. seeing them in the ocean is really amazing. i see them all the time when i go diving or surfing. i’ve swam with wild dolphins before and rode on turtles backs. it’s pretty cool… anyway, check out these photos i took….
everybody watched the movie flipper right? how smart are dolphins? it’s amazing how you can communicate with them. one day out waikiki, we passed a pod of dolphins so i jumped in to swim with them. they were checking me out but kept their distance so i made dolphin noises through my snorkel and they looked at me and came right in. i could have touched them. it was pretty cool… some of my friends don’t believe me but i don’t care. can’t wait to swim with dolphins again. check out this one winking at me….
i remember when my grandma use to read me the japanese children’s book “urashima taro” when i was a kid. it was about a boy who rode the back of a turtle and went into the underwater world. i use to dream of riding a turtles back as a kid so now that i can, i go for it whenever i get the chance. one time i rode a huge turtle out in the north shore and he took me pretty deep. i felt so good that i didn’t want to let go. but once i did, he followed me back to the surface. then i rode him again. and again. that day, i didn’t catch any fish. but who cared. i was reliving my childhood dream….
