after surfing for so long yesterday morning, i was starving! so i thought i’d treat myself to a delicious japanese lunch. went to Ginza Bairin because they have the best tonkatsu on the whole island.

i ordered the mixed katsu lunch special. costs $13 for al this! it’s all you can eat rice, miso soup, and cabbage. so because i’m a surfer and like free things, i ordered extra of everything. haha.

going back out into the ocean on such a beautiful day like this, it’s just pure excitement. i’m always singing to myself on the way out. usually the song “shimanchu nu takara” by begin.

gosh, i miss molokai already. i miss living off the land. if you want to eat fish, you have to go catch your own. if you want to eat meat, you have to hunt your own. many different ways to hunt. i was learning from true hawaiians living the island lifestyle. and guess what? i loved every single thing about it. here is Bronson preparing for an upcoming dinner.

just like the ocean, you never know what you will come across. so everyday is different. very exciting to be a part of nature.

feeling the wind coming off the mountain, smelling the fresh air, and watching the sun rise over the plains. i felt like i was in heaven.

on father’s day, i speared my dinner. then i came home to clean it and prepared it. i have a special way of cooking this type of fish. very simple, and very delicious. and once you take a bite, you can’t stop eating.

i ate everything all by myself! along with 2 bowls of rice, i was a very happy man! i want to thank the ocean for providing me such fresh and healthy food. this is how i want to live for the rest of my life. maybe i better move to molokai soon. haha.
