good evening. another windy day with 40mph gusts. guy hagi said it’s going to be like this for the next 7 days at least. gosh, i feel sorry for all the surfers paying big money to surf the north shore this winter season. while i was driving home from the north shore today, i was thinking about how i feel when i’m in another country and the waves are junky for a long time. then i thought to myself “at least you can still surf in hawaii right?” yeah, the waves aren’t good now but at least you can surf. i spent months in shonan, japan not being able to surf at all. flat waves and cold water. so if your sitting in a house on the north shore bummed out about the waves, just think “it could be worst”…..

staying right at rocky point is the best. surf, take a nap, surf, do computer work, then check out the surf right before sunset time….

pack a cooler with some ice cold steinlager pure beer, sit on the sand with some friends, and enjoy the surf and the amazing sunset. by the way, if haven’t tried this beer, you don’t know what your missing out. steinlager pure has no additives or preservatives so it’s as pure as it gets. no aftertaste, no hangover. the first time i tried it was about 8 months ago and ever since than, i’ve been drinking it all the time. it’s by far my favorite beer….

and we aren’t the only ones watching the beautiful sunsets. there are houses lined up and down the coast with pro surfers living there. here is mikala jones, jamie sterling, and friend enjoying the same thing we were. 2 houses down, jack johnson was doing the same thing. beers, friends, and a great time….

it’s like this almost every evening… hope you get to enjoy the beauty of hawaii like the way we do….

Waikele Shopping….

good morning. same junky waves like yesterday but much smaller. some surfers are calling it the worst winter ever. i think it’s pretty bad but it ain’t over yet… i still have hope and i still want to get barreled so i’m thinking positive. you should too….

this was laniakea at 6:20pm last evening. junky….

check out this shochu bottle with gold flakes inside. cool… it was a present from kimura-san for tony and tammy. after they drink it, they are going to turn into gold. serious…

another present from kimura-san brought from japan. it’s called shu-cream. whoever eats it is going to get fat. serious…

now this is serious. i took this photo when i was at the hospital when masato got hurt. it was a really nervous time for me. CAT scan is a serious thing and waiting for the results is nerve racking. thanks goodness everything turned out ok…

and last, ALOHA FROM HAWAII….
