good evening. cold morning and cool day with these north winds. the waves have been pretty bad for a while now and i’m starting to feel like north shore 08-09′ season is done. what happened to all my barrels? ahhhh…. keeping my fingers crossed. as for now, south/west winds this weekend so even worst winds for the island. the good thing is it won’t be so chilly anymore… have a warm evening…

see that black shade spot in the water? those are thousands of little fish making a shadow in the water. usually there would be 50 fishermen on it trying to catch this little fish to eat, or for bait. there was only three this day. three lucky fisherman…

every time this guy threw out the pole, he caught a fish… the were biting like crazy….

what to do with all these fish? take it home and fry it up for dinner? or use it for bait to catch bigger fish? either works…
**and last, want to leave you off with this youtube video. hosaka-san sent me a link to lisa stansfield singing “ALL AROUND THE WORLD”. i use to listen to this song a long time ago before i been “ALL AROUND THE WORLD”…. thanks hosaka-san for sending me this awesome song that brings back so many memories… see you in shikoku….

good aloha friday morning. 6:30am and freezing cold again. waves junky on the north shore again. town is really clean but small. today is a day to eat fresh fish!!! have a nice day!!

i was watching the news yesterday and seen a story on free diving. so of course, i tuned in. here’s 2 guys blue water freediving in mexico for tuna. then along comes a hungry 12′ tiger shark. so what is it? kill, or be killed?

kill. that’s what these divers did. me, i’d spear it if it comes for me, get back on my boat, and let the shark take my speargun…. putting more shots in it to kill it? ummm, why? for the photo? ummm… killing sharks is a touch subject for me. remember, we are just visitors….

these incredible photos were taken by D.J. Struntz…

if this tiger shark wakes up and the diver gets tangled in the line, good bye diver. being from hawaii, i don’t believe in killing sharks. it’s like messing with hawaiian karma… scary…

i heard makana cafe is selling one of kelia’s own used surfboards. maybe i should buy it and sell it for more? haha… CLICK HERE FOR MAKANA CAFE….
