Everyday looking for the perfect wave…

Good morning 5am.
North shore BIG again. 10-15′ today.
Ala Moana knee high and clean.
Diamond Head waist high and clean.
Light winds so nice conditions.
Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

When there is a huge North swell with trade winds, one spot on the North Shore will shine.  That spot is Laniakea.  It was absolutely perfect today!  Solid 4-6′ with some 8′ sets.  It’s been a while since I saw perfect waves like that!  We caught good waves, had a good time, and most importantly, didn’t get hurt.

This guy was smiling all the way home.  The biggest surf of his life, very calm, and World Champion Carissa Moore paddling past him saying “Ohayo gozaimasu!”  A day he will never forget.

Every time I look at a horse, I think about uma sashimi.   That’s not good.

Since we can’t eat horse in Hawaii, we went to eat poke instead.  Off the Hook is located in Manoa and the long line shows how popular this place is.  We were so hungry!

As a fisherman who catches his own fish, it’s hard to pay $24 for a poke bowl.  BUT, this one was really good.  Very fresh, a good variety, good toppings, and one of the best poke bowls I ever ate.  So yes, even as a fisherman, it’s well worth it!

Yesterday once more:  Wave of the day by Yano-san!

Good morning 5:30am.
North shore 4-6′ from the North. Big swell again tomorrow.
Ala Moana knee high and clean.
Diamond Head waist high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 15mph.
Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!
