last night went to Doraku at 8pm. had a great time with my classmates from middle school to now. that’s 36 years i knew both Carter and Holli. had a great talk until the restaurant staff kicked us out at 1:30am. seems like we never have enough time to catch up. friends are so precious and priceless. hold on to them forever.
went to grab a taro smoothie on the way down to the beach from Shaka Shaka.
it was yet another beautiful day! just perfect surf and perfect quality time with the kids.
can’t believe how grown up Carter’s kid Conner is. a Punahou grad, a surfer, very handsome, and a very respectful young man. good fathering Carter!
we had such a great time in the ocean. then came back to reality with a beautiful rainbow to greet us.
i just downloaded the photos off my camera from today. super good waves surfing with Carter and the kids. i even got a few barrels to be stoked about.
by far, this father’s day was the best ever. hanging out with very important people, surfing, getting barreled, and documenting every moment. i realized through my friends that i am a very lucky guy. yes, they all say i’m very stubborn, but i’m also very lucky to be living my dream life. after coming out of a barrel today, i saw this photo Mia took of me. i looked at it good and realized how happy i really am. the best feeling of the world of coming out of a barrel and staring at your princess cheering you on. yeah!
tomorrow the south swell continues. going to surf my dream! see you there!
