i was doing routine maintenance. i tell my friends that taking care of a boat is higher maintenance than taking care of your girlfriend. but the good thing is boats don’t talk back. haha.

they issued a high surf advisory today for the south shores of oahu. it’s the 3rd time this month? all us surfers are in total disbelief! but hey, we will take it. all the hawaiian guys who usually go to indonesia to chase perfect waves never left hawaii this summer. why go to indonesia when we have indonesia in our back yard? look at this freaking wave this evening!!! this is as perfect as it gets.

and thank you Higeta-san for the japanese gift. i love anything japanese because i’m japanese!
waves continue. two more south swells coming after this one. one part of me wants to take a trip, but the other part is saying “are you crazy?” i’m crazy so as soon as something changes, i’m gone. good night.
