good morning. first of all, wanted to thank my high school old time buddies for a great dinner last night. it’s been a while that we all got together and i’m stoked we did. we had a lot to catch up on and it was great seeing everybody so healthy and happy…

the nabe at ichiriki was super good. it was the first time i tried the spicy shio nabe. that’s the winner…

i was playing with my friends daughters little feet. life is so amazing….

the roxy jam is probably on but i can’t watch it. i’m heading to kewalo’s to watch the rip curl grom search. somebody let me know how the girls do. mahalo.
by the way, the waves are small again. low tide, go to bowls or kaisers. high tide, kewalo’s is the spot…
also wanted to give you a heads up on the deaf contest going on this weekend at queen’s. i drove by yesterday morning and watched a heat. i think it was the 2nd one because it was 8:15am. this shortboarder in a red jersey was freakin ripping!!! i was amazed!!! the contest is on today and will finish up tomorrow. i’ll be down there tomorrow to watch some heats… see you there…
and once again, thanks everybody for checking my blog and for the kind comments. i can’t keep up anymore… but that’s a great thing. keep them coming because i will respond to all when i have the time. but for now, i’m going to the beach… have a great day…
oh, last thing. want to say hello to all my friends in okinawa. i’m going there from july 25 for 2 weeks. let the party begin!!! haha…

good evening. had a long day today but was super fun. started off surfing bowls this morning. the waves were once again small, but perfect. i went surfing with eri-chan from barrels water sports. she caught so many waves in the mune size and rode it for 15 seconds or more. something hard to do in japan so she was stoked….

then we went to kailua beach. it was such an awesome day out there today…

then to lanikai. i wish i had my speargun to catch some dinner for tonight…

makapuu beach was pretty good too. if i was a bodysurfer, i would have been there today….

then off to one of my favorite places in the world….

and nothing beats a waiola shave ice with ice cream and azuki beans on the bottom. that cooled me off big time….
**long day means short sleep. i have a dinner to go to. then i’m going to wake up early and watch shun surf against the hawaiian boys in the rip curl contest tomorrow at kewalo’s. see you down there and be back with updates….
**and wanted to thank my sister for the update from france. she told me that kelia’s photos are all over the place for the contest. that’s freaking cool!!!! go sis….

Evening Kewalo’s: Shoulder High and Super Fun… Shun is out now….
