before i started surfing, i use to play baseball. it was a good experience for me because baseball taught me how to be a team player. baseball is a team sport and we use to play as a team. surfing is different. it’s more of an individual sport. it’s just not the same….

picking on one guy on the team is like picking on the whole team. we did it as kids, and these guys are doing it as men. this is what you call team participation. i kind of miss that…

and last, did you know that it’s 80 miles from sunset beach to town if you take the freeway? and did you know that it’s only 69 miles if you go the other way around? maybe next year, i’ll drive back to town the other way around. that way, there’s no traffic and i get a better scenic view….

i got the best 6′ barrel of my life. i speared the biggest fish of my life. i don’t want this dream trip to end. just few more days and i will be back in hawaii. sorry i still can’t check my emails until oct 8th. aloha.

this was kalua in november of 2006 when we saved him from the mountains….

this is kalua now. not even 2 years later. the biggest, coolest, most famous pig in hawaii. hi kalua. oink oink.. liver sashimi? pigs feet? bacon? pig ears? pork? gosh, kalua is worth some bucks…..
