flash freeze! how did we bring home the tuna from mexico? we flash froze it in mexico by simply putting it in the freezer for a few hours, then packed it tight in a cooler, put it on the flight to LAX. checked in the hotel, requested 2 mini refrigerators in our room, packed it in overnight, loaded up the cooler in the morning, checked it on the flight back to HNL, then when it got to my house, it was perfect! still ice cold! then cut up some sashimi and tossed up some poke. oh so fresh, and oh so good!

simple poke is the best. just some shoyu, sesame oil, and green onions. perfecto!

and fatty tuna for sashimi. to me, mexican tuna tastes better than hawaiian tuna. more fatty. or i was wondering if it tastes better because i caught it? haha.

even thought mexico is a beautiful place, nothing compares to hawaii. this is my home and even though it’s so expensive to live here, i just can’t get enough of it.

it was Inada-san’s first time surfing in hawaii. i’m so glad that i got to share his first experience with him. and i’m also glad the waves were as perfect as can be.

the morning was kind of small and choppy. so we went to eat lunch and when we came back, it looked like a totally new day. perfect glassy and nobody around. score!

and yes, everyday i have to get my fair share. for every 10 waves Inada-san caught, i caught one. and each one i rode, i felt like i was a little kid again. so happy to be riding on water.
