good evening. another cool day here in hawaii. perfect weather and super fun waves. went to ala moana park and felt like surfing a left so we surfed concessions. i went out there and just had fun. i was so happy just to be in the warm water enjoying good waves with my friends…. surfing saiko!!!
naohiro is from wakayama and the next generation yamari shirasu factory owner. i’ve known him for 8 years and it’s so cool to see him grow from a young boy to a responsible young man. and it’s more cool to see him enjoy surfing as much as he does….
like i said this morning. may day is lei day in hawaii. it’s a big holiday and every elementary school celebrates this special hawaiian holiday. this is the may day festival at hokulani elementary school. i had a blast watching the kids enjoying themselves and it brought back so many good memories…
**and last. i’ve been surfing ala moana park for 23 years and counting. the first time i went out there, i seen this guy ripping and owning the lineup. that guy 23 years ago was the man back then, and still is now. ronnie yamada’s a good friend of mine and i’ve enjoyed surfing surfing with him all these years. we have surfed the best of big right’s together and caught thousands of waves out there. seen the best and surfed the best. ronnie did his fair share of traveling in japan and has many friends in isounoura. from pro surfer, to surfboard airbrush artist, to his current job, tattoo artist. ronnie is one of the top tattoo artist in hawaii and works for 808TATTOO.COM…. we paddled out together today, shared some fun waves at concessions, and paddled in together. so i pulled him over for this short interview. check it out…. and check out ronnie’s cool blog by CLICKING HERE….
