good morning. 6:15am and the waves are looking tiny. where’s that north swell? nothing yet and the buoys aren’t showing anything yet so don’t expect it to come up today. maybe tomorrow. town is small but i bet diamond head is fun. i have so many things to do today so i better leave. surf, shoot, and meetings. busy but loving it. have a nice day!!!

it’s good to see signs like this around the island. just a reminder on ocean safety….

NEVER TURN YOUR BACK TO THE OCEAN. this was the first thing i learned about the ocean. i always tell kids that this is the most important rule that you should always follow. i see it all the time, tourists standing on the waters edge taking a photo with their backs turned to the ocean. then all of a sudden, a wave comes and sweeps them out to sea. i never turn my back to the ocean and anybody who goes near the sea shouldn’t too…. this is a great sign….

and here’s another great sign i seen the other day near velzyland. KEEP THE BEACH CLEAN. it’s pretty simple. understand it or don’t go to the beach. stay home instead….

good evening. new swell on the way tomorrow. finally we’re going to get some surf on the north shore by late afternoon. everywhere should be fun. i’m out there….

there is a nice little sandbar next to off the wall. i was checking it out for a while today and the water was really clean. maybe some underwater shots tomorrow???

i walked by shirokiya yesterday and the smell of japanese food caught my nose. so i went in and ate a ika stir fry bento. $8.25. pretty expensive????

$6.15 for 30 x-large eggs. now that’s a deal. i stopped by peterson farm in wahiawa on the way back to the north shore today. raw egg over rice, and dashimaki tamago for dinner. so good!!!

i’m finally going back to japan next week. this is the kind of food i’m looking forward to eating. i already have it planned. oden from 7/11 for breakfast, ramen for lunch, and sashimi for dinner… yeah, can’t wait!!!

and i’ll be in indonesia in 3 weeks. yeah, can’t wait!!! i’ll be exploring little villages and making new friends. stay tuned for a lot of photos and vids…. mahalo….

WAIMEA BAY 2PM SUNNY DAY!!!
