when you are a friend of a friend, you are a friend. this cool couple from osaka are friends with my friend Kame-kun. such a small amazing surfing wonderful friendly world!
want to thank Nomura-san for the presents!
omg, i really needed to take care of myself. finally cut my nails and got all the wax out of my ears. now i can hear again. haha.
Watanabe-san yesterday getting some perfect longboard waves!
not too crowded, clean water, blue sky, and perfect waves. what else more could you ask for?
and yes, the lovely diamond head shot.
when i was at the makapuu lookout, a white tourist from the mainland started talking to me. he was asking me all kinds of questions and i was answering all of them to my knowledge. one of them was “what is that concrete box on the side of the mountain?” i said, it’s a bunker from WWII. it was these very bunkers where americans first saw the japanese kamikaze planes flying over heading to pearl harbor. he was surprised. then i started to tell him that whales jump right in front of here sometimes too. one second later, he seen a whale jump out of the water. he was surprised.
then he looked at me in the eye and said “hey smart guy.” i looked at him and said “huh?” he said, “since you’re so smart, i want to ask you something. there is a red flag down on that point there. next to it is a cement block.” i told him, “that is a bunker too.” then he said “but why was there a machine in there making noise???” he thought he had me on that one. haha. i told him, “that’s the pump for the salt water tanks at Sea Life Park.” he looked at me and was surprised. then he started telling me “hey, did you know that WWII was a conspiracy? President Roosevelt knew we were going to get attacked and wanted it to happen. he wanted to unify the country….” i looked at him and said “have a nice day.” turned around and walked away. that was enough for me. haha!
