good morning. 6:45am and i just got back from bowls. it was pitch dark when i got to the beach at 5:30am. i was about to paddle out and this lady that was fishing on the beach told me not to go out because of the sharks. i thought that was pretty funny. she said that i’m crazy and as i was paddling out in the pitch dark, i thought i was crazy too. got out there, caught my first wave and was surfing into the moonlight and the lights at waikiki. it was totally awesome… i felt like a kid again…. i had bowls to myself until 6am when this guy paddled out and told me he was shocked to see me out before him. i was going to catch 3 waves and come in but had too much fun so i caught 8 waves. gosh, i feel so fresh and energetic now. what a way to start off my long day. i’m so happy….. life is good!!!!
**got a lot of emails about the video i took yesterday. yes, i did take it by myself. somebody thought i had a photographer with me. haha.. that’s pretty funny. i feel comfortable talking to myself. i always do…. haha.. just joking. i just thought instead of writing my blog and posting photos, i’d try something different. so i’ll be doing this once in a while. i had fun so it’s all good…. now check out this other video i made of our trip to the philippines last year. anyway, i got to get out of here. heading to the airport and catching a 9 hour flight to japan. hope i don’t forget anything…. back live from the land of the rising sun later…. aloha…..
**went to the philippines last year for the cloud 9 invitational contest along with a japan surfing world magazine article. i just put together a slide show of some of the photos and video i took. gosh, besides from getting food poisoning, the trip was awesome. good waves, good friends, good experiences, and good memories…. check out part 1 of 2. it was pretty long so i split it up into 2 parts. hope you enjoy….
**by the way, i found out that a lot of people don’t know how to use youtube videos. see that play mark in the photo above, click on that and the video will play. mahalo…
