good morning. north shore is still kind of stormy. not worth the drive. town came down. clean but small. if you were on it yesterday, you scored. today is one of those days to sit back and relax…. especially after an awesome night last night… wanted to thank team okinawa and team yamari for the good times… tonight again?? haha…. have a nice day….

this is one of my favorite guns. a 120cm andre custom made teak gun from bali. so far, i got more than my money back from the fish i caught with this gun. i just changed the bands and now i made it more powerful than it was before…. this is for blue water diving…

kelia stopped by the go-naminori house the other day. kelia loves kids and kids love kelia. here is yama-chan posing for the camera….

good chilly evening. gosh, is this hawaii or what? it was so dark and cold today. i felt like i was in the middle of winter in japan or something. it was freezing cold for me and there was no way i was going in the water today. not after freezing my ass off all day yesterday with a full suit on. i think this is the coldest winter ever recorded in hawaii. both air and water temperature…[:???:][:???:][:???:]

we were up at the ilikai hotel on the 44th floor. the view was freaking amazing. bowls was perfect… someday i hope to have a million dollar view like that everyday….

ala wai yacht harbor is for members only. and members we were today. it feels so good to be special. and the food was so dam good…

i ordered the 10oz. steak plate with potato salad and french fries. oh my gosh…. so good….

takahashi-san cracks me up. no matter where we are, we’re going to have fun… and i mean a lot of fun…. i’m getting ready for dinner now and i have a feeling that we are all going to wake up with headaches tomorrow morning. but it’s all good….
**i just got an email from don king. he sent me a video clip of myself getting barreled at backdoor like 10 years ago. don king is the best water videographer in the world and everybody knows that. so when i opened up the file, i was pretty dam excited. and after i watched it, i almost pissed in my pants. after all, nothing in surfing beats getting a stand up barrel at backdoor. nothing!!!! thanks so much don king!! you made me so happy!!! i’m going to hold my drink up high tonight… cheers….[:?????????:][:?????????:]
