good morning. 5:45am thursday morning. small south swell in town with chest high sets at bowls. it’s pretty windy again but looking fun. bowls looks best so bowls it is…. see you in the water…
this is hawaii!!!! and this is how you take a photo of yourself… haha…
this is how you jump off a rock. with your board and everything…. check out shun charging with kelia and alyssa on the cliff looking down…
this is how two good friends have fun…. pure fun….
and this is how you charge big. run from the back, and just let it fly!!! after the first initial jump, shun went bigger and bigger…. before we slept last night, shun said “today was super fun”…. i hope he had a good night sleep because we’re having more fun today….
**wanted to thank everybody that sent kind supportive emails and left messages on my phone about the 1st annual go-naminori grom contest. yeah, the kids had fun, yeah, it was all worth it, and yeah, we’re doing it again next year. we might even have to make entry forms because so many people are inquiring about it. i’ll have to contact contest director seth moniz for more information. stay tuned…. and once again, thanks to the sponsors and volunteers that made it a success….
**i also wanted to give a shout to my friends in japan. after seeing the smiles in the kids faces the other day, it’s now my dream to make it happen in japan. yes, a grom contest in japan with hawaiian and japanese kids surfing man-on-man together. a great learning experience, and a great way to build relationships. if you can in some way help me make this happen, please let me know. want to keep the positive vibe going and pass it on to the next generation. mahalo…
