good morning. 7:15am thursday morning. waves up in town. not that big but seen some shoulder/head high sets with perfect conditions. light winds, clear skies, a lot of surfers on it. going to drive around and surf the best spot today. i don’t care about the crowd, i just want to surf the best wave. see you out there…
volkswagon dunebuggies are in right now. yeah, the old school guys are bringing back the vw classics…. my friend derek was hooked on vw’s since the early 80’s. and still is. after racing around the streets of honolulu for the past 25 years, things just got more dangerous. yeah, they are throwing subaru turbo engines in the paper light dunebuggy bodies. freakin lightning speed…. check out this setup….
derek sent me an email saying that he will let me drive it around town for 1 week. he even said i can even take it to the beach with me. imagine me pulling up to sandy beach, stopping at the bus stop along the one mile strip, putting it in 1st gear, taking the motor to 8000rpm, popping the clutch, and hitting 100mph in 10 seconds. then going so fast that the dune buggy flips, i fly out, and it’s over in a flash. no, better not. i’m not a good driver when going over 100mph. and plus, i don’t have $20,000 to pay derek back. haha… whoooooopppppp…….
and last, wanted to thank local motion maki-san for the omiyage. this screws into my digital camera, then i can put it on the top of a water bottle as my stand. killer idea yeah? i’m trying to find a way to mount it to my speargun. stay tuned….
**and last last, heard about INTERNATIONAL INFLATION? yeah, believe it or not, inflation is up around the world. china up 23%, america up 10% from the same time last year. and japan? highest inflation rate in japan since 1980. last night when i bought oxtail soup at zippy’s. i tripped out when they told me “$12.67 please”… what@@ it was just a few years ago when it was $8.95. i told the girl at zippy’s “wow, prices went up yeah?”. then told me “wait till july 1st. everything on the menu at zippy’s is going up”… oh my gosh. i better go diving more often….
