4-6′ Off-Shore and Perfect!!! Go-Naminori….

good morning. 6:30am and it’s still pretty cold. north swell still going out in the country. lani’s again your best bet. town has some small ones but i’m over it. going north today. cloudy, little rainy, but still better than nothing… have a fun and safe day….

the other day, there was this little bird sitting on my windshield wiper. i brought him home and he’s sitting on my shoulder right now… not…

i went to go see kalua yesterday. he’s looking more and more delicious every time i see him….

seth moniz is holding up his 2nd place trophy from the tssc contest last year in shikoku. this years contest is coming up next month and seth wants to be holding that 1st place one. see, seth hates 2nd place. and there’s one kid standing in his way, that’s shun murakami…. rivals? i love it…

i can’t wait till april 5th when these kids will battle it out for the championship trophy. no matter who wins, i’ll be happy. but i know that those kids don’t feel the same… ganbare!!!

good cold tuesday evening.[:???:][:???:][:???:] i don’t remember a day in my life in hawaii colder than today…. i was freezing my ass off all day long. another busy day. taxes, airplane tickets, and computer backup all day long…

i had to get out of the house so i drove through waikiki. stopped by queen’s and the waves looked super fun for longboarding. knee/waist high, sunny, and perfect…

then i drove by diamond head. in the whole ocean, there were 2 surfers out. i was going to paddle out but when i looked around the corner and seen bigger waves with nobody out, i was there. i ran down the hill in my trunks, looked out and seen head high sets with nobody around, jumped in the water, and screamed!! [:???:][:???:] the water was freezing cold!!! is it the current? the wind? what’s going on with hawaii? if this was japan, i’d be in a full suit for sure.. i surfed for 30 min and had to come in because i was freezing cold… but had a great surf by myself…

what do you do when your freezing cold? eat ramen… kimura-san left some ramen for me before he went back to japan. gosh, it was so good. there aren’t too many places with good ramen in hawaii so i always make my own. this one was the best!! i think it’s hokkaido ramen… ummm

the nori, egg, and kimchee doesn’t come with it. i just added it in. today, i had the best ramen on the island, right in my house…

hey, check out my dinner tonight. wow, feels like i’m in japan…

and last, thanks to local motion maki-san for sending me this photo. i can’t wait to go to japan and get served hot sake by a seal…. [:??????:][:??????:]
