good evening. what another beautiful day here in hawaii. relaxed, took a nap, and watched the superbowl. swells on the way this week so i’m going surfing everyday…..

i was at the airport yesterday picking up go-naminori web designer naoka. there were so many people coming out of the airport. i hope tourism is picking up because i heard we’re at a 50 year low right now. come on everybody, now is the best time to come to hawaii. everything is on sale!!! except me.. haha…

i’ve never seen more of an old original mustang than jeannie chessers. i asked her if she wanted to sell it to me and the look she gave me was terrifying… i’m glad she didn’t slap my face for asking that stupid question…..

renee vento was on our timor trip last september. she pulled up to the secret spot to surf and after seeing how big it was, she turned back to the boat grab her camera. i’m glad she did because she took some pretty awesome photos. this is me taking off. after this, i was in the barrel for a while thinking to myself how lucky i am. it was kyle, al, and myself that morning exchanging dream barrels. i’ll never forget that session….
