good evening. it was pitch dark at pipeline this morning as i was sitting on the beach next to a hawaiian sea monk. i was so excited to paddle out and get the first barrel of the day. i jumped in and as i got closer to the lineup, i saw 2 shadows. oh my gosh!! yumie-chan and yumi-chan beat me out. eeeh??? i was bummed… haha.. it was only the 3 of us surfing in the dark. for the past 2 days, i got barreled on my first wave before the sun came up. what a great way to start off the day!!!
then as i was driving home, i passed by waimea bay and couldn’t believe how beautiful it was. so i grabbed my camera and took some shots…
another picture perfect day in hawaii!!! wish you were here!!!
**here are some photos from yesterday….
satoshi kubota got some good waves yesterday at backdoor too. here’s one barrel that he snuck out of…
keito was the banzai surfer yesterday at off the wall. he kept pulling into monster close outs. i’m sure he’ll get a cover shot or something from his efforts….
yumie interview coming up on go-naminori.com. it’s going to be a good one!! thanks oomori-san and yumie for the positive vibrations….
and last, of all the photos i took in my lifetime, this one just became my top 1. i was just snapping away the other day not looking through the view finder. so when i seen this photo after i downloaded it, i was so happy!!! to me, a surfing photo is memorable. but nothing is more memorable than getting thrown in the air from your daddy’s hands. i’m going to enter this one in a national photo contest….
