good morning. 5:30 am on this windy thursday morning. kind of overcast right now. the buoy is still up so the waves are still big on the north shore. they are going to try to run round 1 of the volcom pipeline contest today. everybody’s still wondering why they didn’t run it the other good day??? anyway, it’s going to be another great day for surfing!! oh, town probably still has some waves too. bought a new toy yesterday and can’t wait to use it. have a nice day[:?????$B!x(B???:]
if you ever come to hawaii, the ilikai hotel is probably the best place to stay. why? because ala moana bowls is right at your doorstep…
your not allowed to bring meat, poultry, or vegetables to hawaii from japan. but seafood, bring it on!!! thank you kimura-san for the pupu’s that went down good with the beers….
i watched isaiah’s last heat. it was a 3 man heat with top 2 advancing. it was him, and 2 guys from USA. as soon as the other guys got their scores, they sat on both sides of isaiah and didn’t let him get a wave. ummm…. i understand it’s a contest and everything but i was kind of bummed. but that’s the part of contests that make competitors stronger and i hope isaiah comes back to hawaii proud to make it that far, and not pissed off at team USA. we’ll just have to wait and see…
do you remember when florida’s todd holland did the same thing to a brazilian surfer at a contest in brazil about 15 years ago? he did it in front of thousands of locals and after the heat, they threatened to kill him. he had to get escorted off the beach by security, he shaved off his beard and mustache, and got escorted to the airport by police. crazy yeah?
here is team hawaii. all great surfers!!! good job boys and girls…
here’s something japan has to be proud of. this kid hiroto arai made it to the finals and got 4th place. oh my gosh!! that’s got to be a first time for a japanese surfer. i’ve seen this kid surf before and he rips!!! congratulations hiroto!!!
**and last, want to thank everybody for the emails. been getting so many everyday and can’t keep up. keep them coming and i’ll get back to you as soon as i can. but just wanted to say thanks for the support!! GO-NAMINORI[:?????$B!x(B???:]
