good morning. 7am sunday. small waves in town but still looking fun. gotta work on my computer today so that’s what i’m going to do… have a nice day…

this is a photo of shun and yesterday rip curl grom winner kaulana. these 2 goofy footers are pushing each other and i like watching it. both in, and out of the water…

it’s cool to see so much media for amateur contests these days. when i used to surf contests a long time ago, there was absolutely no photographers. zero…. these kids are lucky these days…

the cool things about amateur contests in hawaii is that you have ASP WCT judges on the panel. jack shipley, bernie baker, and others. it’s good prep for these young boys. if you get a 10 point ride by these judges, it’s a 10 point ride. you earn it…

and last, check out my dinner plate last night. roast pork and roast duck over rice. $7.50 from duck lee over there at market city. my favorite!!!
**and last last…. round 1 for the roxy pro is over. kelia, yuko, yoko, and miku all won their heats!!! go girls!!!

before kelia went to france, she actually practiced long boarding for 2 whole weeks. i hope it pays off….

yoko looking pretty dam stoked!!!
**CONTEST IS PROBABLY ON TODAY SO CLICK HERE FOR LIVE COVERAGE….

good evening. shun had bad luck in his 2rd semifinal heat. the waves completely went flat and junky. he didn’t advance and the guy who won got only a 4.0 and a 3.5. shun was bummed but that’s part of the learning curve. i hope it will make him more angry and hungry for the next contest…..

when i was driving home, i seen this big MOVING SALE sign near my house so i pulled over. look what i bought. a nice japanese wood light, and a pretty expensive wine bottle opener. guess how much everything cost??? .75 cents… score!!!!

this is your man for today. isaiah moniz is ripping!!! i’ve been surfing with him recently and shun and i agree that isaiah is surfing 100% better than last year. stronger, and smoother. how did isaiah do today?
1st- Under 14
2nd- Under 16

yeah, he almost won 2 divisions and took home some money. great job isaiah…
as for seth, he’s on kauai surfing the NSSA contest there. how did seth do?
1st Place…

and as for kelia in france, she surfs tomorrow. good luck!!
i want to congratulate all the kids that competed today. you all did a great job!!!

and last, want to leave you off with a photo i took a few days ago.
beautiful hawaii from the water….
