Diamond Head 6’….
Bowls 6′ +
Big Rights 6′ +

good morning. it’s 6:30am and the waves are going off!!! i just seen a 4′ set at bowls and everybody is on it already. 20 + guys out. it’s kind of windy but the still offshore. i’m going surfing!! have a nice day….

the coast guard along with the DNLR are finally enforcing the rules and regulations on boating. it’s good to see these guys out because it makes our ocean safer. it’s scary to see speed boats speeding around with drunk drivers behind the wheel. i’ve had a few close calls of almost getting run over before. get those guys out of the water!!!

i want to thank kato ryuichi for sending me this amazing photo of this dolphin. hey, next time you go on your boat, can i come. i would love to shoot photos of wild dolphins…. thanks dude…

after collecting shells from around the world, now it’s time to give them away. these shells are from timor, indonesia collected from a beach where only a handful of people set foot on…. want them? CLICK HERE FOR GO-NAMINORI PRESENTS AND YOU MIGHT WIN THEM ALONG WITH OTHER THINGS…..

and last, i haven’t turned on my tv since i got back to hawaii and wasn’t planning to until i leave next month. but after yesterday’s shocking news about michael jackson, i had to. i stayed up to 2am watching the news. even though there was so much negative publicity about him, he did a lot to change the lives of millions of people. watch this video and listen to the lyrics to this song “HEAL THE WORLD”….. HEAL THE WORLD, MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE, FOR YOU AND FOR ME AND THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE….. i need not say more….

good evening. we got a solid south swell today. i waited for the right timing to surf big rights and the right time it was. i paddled out at 1pm and hardly anybody was out. i got a few barrels and it felt good to be back home in hawaii surfing good waves. then as i went in, i seen cedric, ronnie, jun jo, and kyle paddling out. i would have loved to surf with them too but at the same time, i wouldn’t have caught as many waves as i did. hopefully i can time it right again tomorrow because i heard it’s going to get bigger. then another bigger south swell this weekend. gosh, i should win the “lucky surfer of the year” award. is there anybody else in the world that has gotten as much surf and fish as me this year? haha…
**by the way, what sad news of michael jackson passing away today. they were playing his songs all day today on the radio and it’s amazing how many years of good music he brought to the world. rock with you, beat it, you are not alone, ben, and many many more. i’m sure he will be missed my millions and his music will live on for generations to come….
