went to Sweet Home Cafe last night and ate way too much. just couldn’t stop eating because it was so good. we were all full and if you could have seen my stomach, you would have laughed.
while most people sleep at night, i work at night. whether it’s responding to emails, planning new trips, or getting ready for a photo shoot. been doing this for 9 years straight every single night.
pulled up to the WSL contest this morning at 8:30am. i ended up being there till 5:40pm. all day in the raging sun.
got to shoot from the back of the jet ski so i took some amazing photos.
the first WSL ever on the south shore of oahu. a start to a great thing as the kids need points and money to make their pro surfing dreams come true.
Wakita was ripping today!
Shun surfed his heat perfectly too. big turns and big points. he advanced to round 3.
had a great day talking to family and friends. a great time to catch up on the surfing scene while supporting the kids. there is the Moniz camp.
Joshua Moniz coming back from a huge win. advancing to round 3 and looking very strong.
Isaiah’s heat was very slow. the tide turned and the waves stopped. poor kid couldn’t get a 2nd wave.
Seth had the last heat of the day. advanced to round 3 and looking strong too!
Seth getting coached by dad Tony, mom Tammy, coach Rainos, and the loudest one, me. haha.
stoked to see some of the japanese kids advancing too. Shun Murakami, Reo Inaba, and Kaishu Tanaka. cool and super good surfers.
after my long day, i almost fainted on the way back to my car riding the skateboard. just no power and felt like my body needed liquid and light food. got home and found Yamari and pocari sweat in my refrigerator! perfect!
then some deep fried tofu, miso soup, and rice. super healthy and i feel better already. tomorrow will be another long day down at the beach. see you down there. good night.
