good morning and happy independence day. gosh, today is going to be nuts! firework shows all over the island. magic island being the biggest fireworks show with 50,000 people expected. and get this, for the first time ever, hawaii kai is putting on a fireworks show at moanalua bay. it’s cool seeing hawaii kai going big!! i seen some of the boys down at bowls this morning saving parking spaces and grassy areas already. 4th of july is a huge holiday for everybody in hawaii. surf safe, drive safe, and be happy…. by the way, that photo above is in my personal top 5 photos i’ve ever taken. hope to top that one tonight…. can’t wait….
i surfed kewalo’s in the afternoon yesterday. it was pretty dam good. 3′ solid and super ripable. seen nick mita, jason shibata, and keito masaoka ripping it up. today probably the same but good luck finding parking. seen a lot of tents and people camping at all over the place last night….
check out this photo. a perfect unridden wave yesterday at kaisers. on a normal summer day, every single wave has somebody riding on it. even 2 or 3 surfers. but not recently. i’ve seen more empty waves this past week than i’ve seen my whole life. if you want one, better come and get it…. go-naminori…
**by the way, it’s 6am and the waves are once again, going off. shoulder high sets in town with everybody on it already. i’ve never seen ala moana park so crowded in my life. easy 100 guys out already, maybe more. and i ain’t kidding. wow… bowls has 18 guys out. super lite trades right now so epic conditions. i’m going to leave my house and enjoy this beautiful independence day. oh, north shore looks good too. lani’s 3′ and a little bumpy but it’s summer so nobody’s complaining…. have a nice day….
