ALA MOANA BOWLS 3′ AND PERFECT OFF SHORE WINDS.
KEEP ON SURFING….

good morning. 5:30 am on this happy independence day!!! the waves are looking good once again. still some 3′ sets breaking at the park and ala moana bowls. i only see only 4 guys out at bowls now. either everybody is burnt out, or there’s no parking because of the 4th of july firework show tonight. i drove by waikiki and ala moana yesterday and every where was packed with tents and people getting ready for today. it’s good to see everybody so happy!!! oh, i just seen a really nice wave so i better get going before it gets crowded. have a nice day and see you in the water….

my friend matsu travels the world as a photographer. he goes to places where nobody’s been before. and since he’s a surfer, he takes photos of empty waves when ever he sees it. check out these photos he sent me of somewhere in the arabian sea….

imagine pulling up on a camels back and getting barrels like this???

maybe my next trip??? i better look more into it…

good evening. another long day that started early in the morning at ala moana park. the waves were 2-4′ and pretty fun….

seth, kalana, and josh up and early for today’s photo session….

when you see the moniz van pull up to a spot near you, run away. haha.. the groms take over everywhere they go. and gosh, i give my sister credit for supporting the kids every single day…

isaiah moniz isn’t my little nephew anymore. he’s become a fine young man. girls, you better run away…..

there is a surf spot on the south shore which name i will keep secret. from the beach, the waves look really fun and clean. looks like you can go out there and do anything on a wave you want. BUT, it’s just not that. it’s the hardest and most frustrating wave in hawaii. BUT, after you see the photos, you’ll be glad you paddled out. like every season for the past 20 years, i felt like a beginner today. i just can’t figure that spot out. but what made me happy was sitting at the peak with 3 of my nephews talking story and trading waves. that’s like a dream come true for any uncle. and to see them ripping made me proud. i can’t wait to go on an indo boat trip with them someday. anyway, wanted to thank kondo-san for shooting all of us. can’t wait to see the photos….
