Come down.

good morning. i came back last night and turned on the news. the new war in libya is the highlights in america. but my highlight was to see 2 japanese survivors rescued after 9 days. hope is alive! never give up!!!!
been still hearing conflicting reports on what’s happening deep into the small towns along the coast near sendai. if you have any photos or information, please let me know.
we’re in war with libya now. what bad timing….

the west side is hard to figure out. no accurate surf report so you just have to drive out and check for yourself. if you score, you score….

it’s really good to see japanese surfers in hawaii. so good!!!

thank you Ota-san from Osaka for an incredible photo. the sunset, the birds? this should be a poster….
** i just wanted to congratulate my nephews on such outstanding results at the NSSA Regionals held at kewalo’s this past weekend. i’m proud of you all!

**i want to thank warren for letting me know that they are organizing supplies to take up to sendai next week. warren also told me that there are still villages that can’t be accessed. hey warren, i hope you find your friend and his family. let me know if you need help. and please keep me posted when you get up there.
**i also want to thank dave yamaya for his heartwarming and encouraging words. hey dave, your email means a lot to me. i know how you feel being in the middle of two countries. it hurts seeing either one down. hawaii is up and doing it’s best for japan. we are one and that will be forever. i’m glad to hear they restored electricity to the plant and things are getting better. yes, japan has seen the worst and with everybody’s strength, we’re all going to be stronger than ever. i’m so excited to be a part of that movement. hang in there dude….
**i also want to thank toco-san for keeping me updated on the situation in japan. it was great to hear the good news yesterday about the young man that was found alive after 8 days. that’s the spirit of japan. it brings us all hope as we all are praying for good news. i really love what you wrote at the end of your email. you made me smile. and you made me tear too…. thank you.
Goodbye Yesterday. And Hello Tomorrow….
and last, check out as the japanese coast guard goes over the tsumami. oh my gosh! i would have been tripping out….
