Swimming with Dolphins off Waikiki….

299

good evening. stayed home and did some carpenter work outside. my brother and i, with the supervision of my mom built an extension of our deck between our houses. if you ever seen us work together, you would laugh. we all have different opinions in what we think is the right way. half the time we just argue. but that’s how our family gets along. and that’s how the job gets done the right way. well, maybe not the right way, but our way. so the extension is done and everything’s looking good. a job like this would have probably cost about a lot of money if we hired professionals but we did it in 2 hours. it felt pretty good pounding nails. it’s like a stress reliever. not that i have any stress or anything. haha. i spent some time downloading old surf footage of me when i was younger. gosh, those were the good old days…

this is a clip of me surfing rocky point in 1993. the good old days…..

and this was in 1995 at pretty big backdoor. one of my best barrels of my life….
i just figured out how to use youtube. now i can finally post some video clips of all the years i’ve been shooting with my video camera. got some classic stuff from 16 years traveling around this world. i just need some time to get to all the footage. more like, i need a lot of time. i just put this dolphin clip off my olympus dig. camera that i lost. it was a few months ago when i was going out diving and past by this pod of dolphins. i’ve swam with wild dolphins a lot but this time, i had my camera. i dove down to about 15′ and shot this while the dolphins were swimming by. if you listen good, you can hear me making grunting noises. i tried to bring the dolphins in but they didn’t want to come this day. sometimes i make noises, they turn and come right up to me. anyway, it was cool swimming with the dolphins. actually it’s always cool…. check out my first youtube post…..
