Thunderbirds in Hawaii!!!

283

good evening. gosh, what an awesome day. i was going to surf bowls this morning but i changed my mind and went to big rights. good thing because at 9am they kicked out all the surfers from waikiki to tennis court. so big rights was like the line where you could surf. why? because they were practicing for the US Air Force Thunderbirds Show. anyway, while we were surfing, the 6 jets came out of the blue and flew right over us. they were doing all kind of tricks and i swear we had the best seats ever. it was awesome…..

ever since i saw the movie “Top Gun”, i wanted to be a pilot. i even enlisted in the Air Force but changed my mind after i found out i had to go to college first. it was my dream and seeing them today in action, i wish i was up there. i probably would have threw up but it looked like a rush…. the show is this saturday in waikiki at 2:30pm. they are expecting 150,000 people. i’m there for sure….

this was ala moana park today. the waves were perfect 3′. super fun but packed. i’m just enjoying myself now and taking it easy. going to be pulling into big barrels in the philippines next week so i’m waiting for that….

this is brandon’s dog. imagine this bull biting you in the ass. must hurt…..

and this is some secret spot in japan. photographer sekida-san sent me this from typhoon 5. is it really that thick? yes, it is. i surfed it during typhoon 6 and it was even thicker than that…..

and last, major upsets today at the boost mobile pro. mick fanning and andy irons eliminated by wildcards dane reynolds and jordy smith. kelly slater is still going so he’s going to be the guy to beat….. stay tuned….
