It sure was another beautiful morning at Bowls.  The full moon shining over the ocean surface, the sun rays starting to shine, and the purple and pink colors of the sky.  So romantic huh.  Haha.

And a romantic sunrise with the boys.  Haha.  Actually there is no romance in the lineup at Bowls.  Everybody wants a good wave.

Troy off the top.

Keoni off the bottom.

I totally freaked out when I saw this Indonesian poisonous sea snake!  Thank goodness it was just a piece of plastic.  But it looked so real!  Haha.  Scary because the real ones can kill you.

The best October continues.  Perfect swells and epic conditions.  Tomorrow should be good too so goodnight at 6pm.

If you go to Japan by yourself and paddle out to a local surf spot, you won’t be welcomed.  I can guarantee that.  But if you go to Japan and paddle out to a local surf spot with a local surfer, you well be loved.  I was watching local surfer Harada-san showing my brother the way.  That was so cool to see.      

OMG, broken board!  Sorry Harada-san.  I’m glad you can smile about it.  Thank you again for your hospitality.  

I went to go watch the kids come in from a dive trip.  It’s pretty cool to see them looking very experienced.  

So happy to see them taking care of their boat.  I’m sure they understand that their boat is their lifeline so if you take care of her, she will take care of you.  

I just found an unopened box in my closet.  It was filled up with SPICE Clothing T-Shirts!  So stoked!!!

Coach Ben Aipa use to always tell me, “Kirby, every time you surf backside, take your board up to 12 o’clock on each turn because the judges love that.”  That was 35 years ago and ever since, I can still hear him yelling at me “12 o’clock!”  This ones for you Coach Ben.  Photo by Todaheli.

Yesterday once more:  Carter at the Bowl.

Good morning 4:20am.
North shore head high and good.

Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!
