Nice Park!!!

good morning. 6:30am and the south swell is here. it’s looking kind of small right now but good enough for me. i haven’t surfed is such a long time and i feel pretty excited to go surfing now. bowls is chest high with 25 guys out but i’m going out there anyway. i had a dream that i caught a 6′ set out there last night. weird yeah? oh well, it ain’t 6′ but i’m going to wait for a set. i just hope i remember how to surf.. haha.. have a nice day!!!

yesterday was a painting day on the deck outside my house. sweat and get dirty all day long….

then my mom bought some lunch. california rolls, spinach rolls, salmon sashimi, and some coca cola…. ummm…..

then we went to celebrate my nieces sweet 16th birthday at hanaki in manoa. all you can eat, including king crab legs for $20.95. what a deal… i had 3 big plates of king crab and i think the restaurant lost out on me tonight because i sure at more than 20 bucks of crab….

and last, the new law goes into effect on july 1, 2009. you can’t talk on the cell phone while driving. if you get caught, you have to pay $15-100. i agree with the new law because i almost got into a lot of accidents when texting on my phone. abunai. and i’m not surprised why they don’t make it illegal for girls to put on makeup while driving. that’s more dangerous….
**and last last, check out this email i got last night from a guy who’s name i will keep a secret…
Kirby,
What are you doing? Post more Yoko pics, she blows away Nora.

he’s referring to this blog i posted yesterday: GO-NAMINORI IN SURFER GIRLS….. yoko has some hard core fans around the world… settle down boys….

good evening. another picture perfect day in hawaii. been keeping myself busy and seems like my list of things to do is getting longer and longer…. i hope i can get a secretary soon. i would love to just play and have somebody else do all the computer work and stuff. i need to be outdoors and sitting in front of my computer is driving me nuts. i went to yoga yesterday to reset my mind. i don’t know if it worked because while i was doing yoga, all i could think about was the things i have to do…. ahhhh…. i better get back to work because i think i’m going on a trip tomorrow. yeah, another opportunity i couldn’t refuse… mini boat trip? ummm…. have a nice evening….

i was at my travel agent today booking my upcoming surf trip in june. every time i walk in there, i look at the advertisements on the wall. and i wonder, “ummm, where should i go next?”

then i went to lance ohara’s house to pick up my custom ordered 3 prong. lance makes top quality spears that will last a lifetime. this spear will catch me more fish than i can imagine. i can’t wait to try it out…. CLICK HERE FOR LANCE OHARA SPEARS…..

sunset time in the mentawai’s. a time for bintang beers, a time for photos, and a time to reflect on the days epic surf. this was our last sunset of our dream trip….

and last, i finally downloaded the rest of the photos from my camera today. when i came across this one, tears ran down my face. i could sit here and write a whole book on these 2 important people in my life. tokura-san and matsuo are like family to me. and for me to see both of them this happy, sitting on a bench on a luxury yacht in the middle of the indian ocean, as the orange/red skies light up from behind, ahhh…….. it wasn’t about the epic waves, it wasn’t about the big fish, and it wasn’t about the sunsets. it was all about pure happiness. it’s times like this that are priceless. this photo is going on my wall…. congratulations again tokura-san on 60 years of giving. and matsuo, thanks for making this trip. i know it wasn’t easy but i’m glad you made it. life doesn’t get any better than this. tokura-san, matsuo, and i went on the first ever indonesia boat trip back in 1994 and 15 years later, we’re still doing what we love to do. TRAVEL….[:?????$B!x(B???:]
