Saki Mai Kaki…

i went to surf bowls early this morning and on my way there, i seen some action. i was waiting at the stoplight when i seen this guy in a white tshirt going nuts!!! he was jumping around outside of the ABC store threatening to kill the workers. he was holding something in his hand and yelling “i’m going to kill you!!!” the ABC workers were pretty scared. i don’t know what was happening but the guy was nuts!!! i had my spear gun in the back seat of my car and was ready for some action. i rolled down my window and was going to tell the guy to mellow out. then the light turned green so i had to go. i made the right decision today. i took the green light and surfed fun waves at bowls. if the light didn’t turn green at that time, i might have been chasing a guy around waikiki with my spear gun. then i would be in jail right now. haha… things happen for a reason right? as for the guy? he probably got arrested…

i had a new matchi shaped tssc board sitting at my house since i got back. i was waiting for my new video camera to come so i can mount it on my board. as soon as i see the next big south swell coming, i’m going straight out to big rights to look for some barrels. until then, i’ll be trying to figure out the camera angles and trying to figure out where to put my stickers. can’t wait to get this thing going….

**thanks to you all who explained to me what the sticker read:
SAKI MAI KAKI

i knew exactly what it meant and i was just wondering how many other people knew. haha… you guys are bad… for those of you who don’t know what it means, it means “Have a Nice Day” in hawaiian pigeon language. hahah…
**oh, wanted to congratulate shun for making the finals in the All Japan Amateur Contest in japan. thanks for the mail shun!!! see you soon!!!
