had a great time surfing with Miyako-san yesterday. super cool surfer girl from tokyo that loves to surf in hawaii.
every year, Miyako-san is getting better and better. great balance and awesome focus. the waves were pretty big yesterday, probably the biggest i’ve ever taken her out to. but she charged the big sets and surfed it perfectly.
beauty meets beauty. awesome photo.
thank you Miyako-san for the wonderful surf session! keep on surfing and see you again!
Isaiah Moniz will always be my little nephew. even though he’s a man now, i still think of him as a little kid. just too many precious memories watching him grow up. of all the 5 Moniz kids, Isaiah liked fishing the most. so when it was time to go fishing, i would ask him first, then he would invite who ever he wanted. i just could see the passion he had for fishing and all the excitement when reeling in a tiny fish.
so when it was the special day for ahi fever, Isaiah was the first guy i called. and when i think about it, this wasn’t beginners luck after all. Isaiah’s been fishing his whole life and has put many hours holding a pole. this day was his day, this day was our day, this day will go into my top 5 fishing experiences in my lifetime. i am so happy that we shared it together. the little fisherman boy became a man.
and like i said, i’m retiring from ahi fever. if this memory is the last memory of my lifetime of chasing ahi’s, it’s all good. just the way i want it. total success!
