SUMMER PIPELINE TODAY @ 2PM…. FLAT!

good morning. 6am thursday morning. got some waves in town today. i just seen a shoulder high set at bowls. not too many waves but when it comes, it comes. 30 guys out already. i’m going to surf somewhere different today. no wind so everywhere is good. have a nice day…. by the way, there are 10 reports of swine flu on oahu. 2 kids have it near my house have it. i have something to say. “if your feeling sick, have fever, or a cough, please go to the doctor. and please stay home so nobody else catches it. it could be a common cold, or it could be the swine flu. why take a chance and spread it? at a time when we are trying to contain a deadly flu virus, please cooperate”…

last night i had a bottle of wine and a few chang beers with my wonderful thai dinner. another secret spot so can’t show you photos. gosh, hawaii has the best food in the world….

$19 dollars for a box of hawaiian host macadamia chocolate? where? in the kuala lumpur airport… gosh, i swear you can get a box at longs for $2???

want something cheap to eat in malaysia? try the warm beef that’s sitting in the market for a few days without ice. i wish i didn’t see this part of malaysia….

and last, don’t miss the kewalo basin beach cleanup on saturday, may 16th at 11am. there will be surfboard giveaways along with free prizes and stuff. novus magazine and the surfrider foundation (oahu chapter) are putting it on so don’t miss it. it’s time to give back to our beaches. thanks ryo for sending me the info. mahalo…

good evening. south east swell? weird winds? super low tide? where’s the spot? first, we checked ala moana bowls and it was just too shallow and breaking to fast. what about waikiki queen’s???? yup!! that was the best spot today. we grabbed some longboards from tony and headed out there for an awesome session. it was crowded when we first got out but the onshore winds came so everybody went in, except us. well well well, the wind switched back off shore and the waves got really good again. 8 surfers out at perfect queen’s? yup, that was us!!! score!! then an hour later, 30 guys paddled out and everything was back to normal out there. gosh, i had fun longboarding today. so fun that i forgot to take video… haha.. next time… have a great evening and see you in the water tomorrow. south/east swell? no wind? you know where i’m going….. good night….

we went to Wet Feet in aina hina shopping center today. this store is specializes in the new stand up paddling craze… if you want to start stand up paddling, that’s the store to go to. just ask for the owner clark if your local, and ask for k-lo if you are from japan. k-lo is from japan so she can help all you japanese that want to get into stand up paddle boarding. i tried to take her photo but she told me “yada”… which means “no way”…. haha… thanks clark and k-lo for taking care of us today….

they got every kind of board you can think of in there….

and every kind of paddle too. what i learned today was a good paddle from a not so good paddle. if you want to get into stand up paddling, go for it. it ain’t that cheap but let me tell you this. “it’s much cheaper than a years membership for a sports club, a better workout, and your in the nature and not in a room with other sweaty stinky bodies” now which one would you prefer???? GO-GET WET….
