Depot Hotel: Padang, Indonesia….

good evening. the waves came up today out of the south, but so did the wind. side onshore winds making ugly waves in town. i looked at a few spots and decided not to surf today. instead, i went shopping and came home to play with my new toy. more waves on the way for this week and i’m hoping the wind are good because i feel like surfing everyday again. see you in the water…. have a nice and safe evening….

i was wondering what kind of tree this was? it was hanging outside the pool by my friends house and thought it was pretty cool….

night surfing is the best. ever tried it? we use to always do it back in the days. and i’m getting tempted to doing it again….

hey, i woke up early today and waited in line at costco to buy my new toy. it’s a sanyo xacti waterproof camera that i will be using a lot this summer in hawaii. wanna be on one of my vids? just say: cheese[:????????$B!r(B:]

and last, if you ever go to the mentawai’s. take time to stop by in padang at the depot hotel for the best shiatsu massage. $6 for a 1 hour massage that will loosen every joint in your body up. and if your ever staying in padang over night, stop over to the pool/karaoke bar on the first floor. you’ll have the time of your life…. just don’t say i sent you there.. haha….
**by the way, i had my cell phone checked out in malaysia. now when i use it, some things don’t work anymore. shit!! now i have to get a new one….

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!

good morning. first of all, i want to wish all you mothers out there the happiest mothers day[:?????(J\(B????????????:] hope your day is the best ever!!! and for you mother surfers, there is a little mothers day south swell. the waves are chest high in town and looking pretty fun. bowls isn’t that crowded now and there seems to be a lot of waves going through. umm…. i’m going to costco today to buy a new waterproof video camera. then i’m going to make some cool videos this summer in hawaii. stay tuned… anyway, have a beautiful day!!!

this is the sunset from my house yesterday. freaking awesome….

we were painting again yesterday and paint got all over me. i have a cut in my hand and paint got into it. it was hurting so much when i was scrubbing it out… itai….

have you ever walked waikiki saturday night? we use to always go down there when i was in high school and make trouble. back then, there were hardly any police around. but now, there are police at every corner. so it’s pretty safe… and fun….

this guy was an entertainer. he drew the biggest crowd but when he did his act, it wasn’t so cool…. oh well….

did you know that these silver guys were the first guys ever to stand on the side of the street? old school and pretty cool….

and last, this position looks kind of sukebe. but it was just a regular massage. or was it? ummm…..
