I drove down the look at the ocean today and it was pretty cool.  Diamond Head looked like a totally different spot.  The waves and winds were coming in from the West.  It actually looked surfable and if I had my board in my car, I would have surfed for sure.  Maybe tomorrow.

Only a few days out of the year, the winds will blow from the West.  And when it does, spots that usually don’t break start to break.  I saw a few good waves for the foil.  Anyway, today was the first real day of winter weather.  Lot’s more storms on the way…

My friend was on the Hawaiian Airlines flight that ran into turbulence.  A total of 36 people got hurt.  I saw people bleeding from the head and face on the video my friend sent.  He said it was crazy!  I always put my seat belt on from the take off to the landing on every flight.  Even when I sleep, my seatbelt is on.  I don’t want to wake up on the ceiling.

I’ve been testing a few more Tokoro’s.  The cool thing is they all work!

Back in the Day:  Tokura-san x Tokoro @ Cloud9.

I was up super early this morning anyway so I turned on the World Cup championship game.  I’m not a soccer fan but since it was the finals, I thought I’d watch for a little.  From the start, it was so exciting!  I couldn’t stop watching so I cancelled my morning surf.  And it was worth it!  The commentators were calling this the best World Cup in the history of World Cups! 

I was routing for Argentina because I remember seeing so many happy soccer fans when I was in Buenos Aires.  I was also inspired by soccer jerseys and the Argentine flag everywhere.  So yes, I was cheering and screaming throughout the whole game!!!  

Well deserved Lionel Messi!  I’m sure every single person in Argentine loves you.  You’re a true hero! 

People were going crazy!  I bet Buenos Aires isn’t going to sleep tonight!  SALUD!
