Hello again Ojiro!  It’s been a long time!

A bigger, stronger, and smarter kid.

Mighty Mouse on fire!

The million dollar surfers view.

Round 2 at king high tide Bowls.  Paradise for Ikeda-san.

Bottom turn and smiling.  Good combination!

The afternoon Waikiki view.

Turtles everywhere.

High tide and long rides.

Clear water and blue sky.

Arms, knees, eyes, and everything perfect.

My turn on my magic 7’3.  Easy to catch waves, and easy to slash!

Ikeda-san enjoying the hot Hawaiian day.

Nice cutback and great surfing!

In the bubble…

Good morning 3:40am.
Ala Moana waist high and good.
Diamond Head chest high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 20mph.
Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

A Friday morning bottom turn.  Strong, confident, and nice flow.  

Hashimoto-san creating the cutback muscle memory on this trip.  

Mighty Mouse back on her short board and feeling loose.

Surfing much faster and turning a lot quicker.

These are the types of photos I aim for.  It shows you the true essence of surfing.

Hashimoto-san will be smiling all the way back to Japan!  

The 3 days of light winds we had was amazing.  Good surf and amazing views.

Next time the winds back off, that’s where I plan to go.
