good morning. gosh, how’s the haze on oahu? i can barely see the waves…. the north shore looks really good. and so does the west side. over here in maui, it’s super sunny and looks like it’s going to be an awesome day. hope yours is too…

check out the waves in hong kong yesterday? sick or what? my friend matsu living in hong kong surfed this spot all by himself. gosh, i got to get there someday and surf with him… thanks matsu for the photo…

good evening from maui. jumped on the superferry at 6:30am this morning. 3 hours later, i’m in maui. at $39 a ticket, i guess you can’t beat it yeah??

left oahu and had a hard time breathing. so much vog…. but when i got to maui, it wasn’t so bad. voggy but still beautiful…. haven’t been here in 8 years since the hui backdoor shootout when it was held at honolua bay. i was lucky at that time to surf for the japanese team. surf honolua bay with 4 others out? oh yeah….

the superferry has up to 40 knots speed. that much speed on sheet glass water made it smooth sailing….
**anyway, the waves were super fun at this beach break called “nevamind”. i’m tired and ready to grab a beer and watch the sun go down on the horizon… have a good evening. in fact wait, i’ll take a photo from my room…..

not bad for a maui sunset yeah? i guess the vog has it’s good side. the sky turns orange and you can look right into the sun… well, gotta get back to my beer…

good morning. 4:45am on this hazy thursday morning. waves on the north shore came up. buoy 1 is 9 feet 13 seconds. expect solid 6′ + on north shores with epic conditions. my boards in my bag i’m out of here…

and gosh, how was the haze in the air yesterday? gosh, felt like i was in LA again. and the bad news is that it ain’t going away for a while. but you know what’s cool about it, it’s the only time you can look straight into the sun… this was 6pm yesterday driving down kaimuki….

anyway, this is were i’m heading right now. solid swell, no winds, and plenty aloha…
