good morning. small waves and junky weather. rain and strong wind coming this week. winter is here!!! usually in october-december, we get a few weeks of junky waves and weather. then after that, we get the epic perfect surf days. everybody asks me when is the best time to come to hawaii? i’d say, mid january to mid march. the worst time? now. that’s why i planned my surgeries at this time. and i’m glad i timed it right… my eye is healing, my hand is healing but not yet. at least 3 more weeks out of the water. so far, so good. anyway, have a nice day!!!
i wanted to thank toda-san and takami-san for picking me up, taking me to dinner, and bringing me back home last night. and thank them for my wonderful birthday present. i will think about you guys every sip of the bottle… haha.. see you today for lunch!!!
when i see a young adult putting so much effort into making money to pay for surfing contests and for her own education, it really makes me happy. alyssa is a bright and smart young adult that will make it in this world. and what ever she decides to do, i will support her all the way. go alyssa!!!
here are her wishing bracelets for only $5. $5 for a wish to come true? what a deal!!!
alyssa didn’t only make the earrings, she made the earring rack too. what a great idea!! see those heart earrings on the right? i bought them. i will be giving them away to some lucky person very soon. wait for details on how you can get them. anyway, if you want more information on alyssa’s jewelry, send me an email and i’ll make sure she gets it. mahalo….
**remember the photographer i reported getting hurt the other day at off the wall? that happened to be my friend neal miyake. neal sent me an email telling me that he went over the falls, landed on his but, and compressed number 2 vertebrate. yes, he broke his back. he’ll be out for the beginning of the winter season and hopefully catch the later end. hope you a speedy recovery neal!!! surf, dive, and shoot safe everybody….
