Hawaii Skin Diver Cover Shot….

339

good evening. hot, hot, hot… gosh, the sun was pretty strong today. i got sunburned walking to the store. waves small, strong trades, so no good for surfing or diving. still looking for an underwater camera… still freaking about that near dog attack… and still loving life….

as a surfer, my dream was to be on a cover shot in america. i was lucky enough to get one on H3O magazine back in the early 90’s…. as a photographer, my dream was have my photo used for a cover shot in america…. this months hawaii skin diver magazine made that dream come true…
**i shot that photo in okinawa last year using my canon 30D with a 10mm wide angle lens in my SPL housing. that is marine friend kevin holding a big dogtooth tuna that almost got away…. wanted to thank kyle nakamoto and hawaii skin diver magazine for making one of my dreams come true….
**and last, i get emails from people all around the world. i respond to every one and when ever somebody asks me something about japan, i try to help him as much as possible. i got this one the other day. i know about the waves and stuff but don’t know of any hotels near the beach. well, except for “love hotels”. haha. anyway, if you can help this guy out with some information, i will forward it to him. mahalo….
hi, im an australian surfer who is going to shonan in november/december, just wondering how the waves are at that time? also can u recommend some surf spots and also some close hotels to the beach?
