i was looking back at some old photos.  i remember my little boat that created many classic moments.  we would surf, dive, and in this case, explore.  this day i surfed a secret spot with pro surfers Todd Mitsui and Tomo Yoshioka.  

i remember going to Timor, Indonesia for the first time.  we were on a 110′ pirate ship that looked like it was out of a movie.  in the back of the photo you can see Kyle Nakamoto checking out the waves, and Kekoa Mau brushing his teeth.  this trip we got epic waves and delicious fish.  sashimi and Bintang’s every night!  

no matter where ever i go, i always find a time and a place to do yoga.  balancing on a rocking boat is tricky but it’s all mental.  just look forward and keep calm.  easy…

Joshua, Seth, Gen, Shun, Mia, and Uncle Kirby.  these were the most precious moments of my life.  i use to take the kids out to Bowls and watch them catch every single wave.  they were so excited to surf out there.  now they are locals…

Hawaii’s Gold Coast…

Good morning 4am.
North shore 3-5′ and perfect. Pipe Pro Women’s probably ON!
Ala Moana chest high and good.
Diamond Head shoulder high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 15mph.
Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

i didn’t have enough time to watch Seth’s heat for the first day of the Pipeline Masters.  i watched it online and he won his heat.  for his next heat, i will be on the beach cheering him on!
