look how some Japanese celebrate Christmas!  i think this is so beautiful!  thank you Saori-san for the photo of your colorful potato salad tree!  

i use to do a lot of North Shore surf guides before.  then i got too busy for myself so i didn’t have time to go out there for years.  thanks to this pandemic, i have more time to guide more surfers to their dreams of surfing the infamous North Shore again.  it’s time again!  

and when my student is fighting the white wash trying to get back out, i get to sneak in a few waves for myself.  it’s time again!

omg, look at Mateus’ Christmas present!  that’s the cutest toy poodle ever!  and they have the same color hair!!!

Welcome to Surfers Paradise…

Good morning 4:30am.
North shore coming up to 6′ by tonight.
Ala Moana waist high and clean. Bigger than yesterday.
Diamond Head waist high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 20mph.
Sun, clouds, and rainbows.
Going to surf.
Have a wonderful day!

omg, we paddled out in the dark and were the first ones out in the ocean.  the waves were much better than i thought.  super clean and long rides…

Daisuke-san keeps on getting better and better.  surfing with perfect style today.  the knees, eyes, arms, and everything is perfect!

we surfed 2 spots this morning these are Daisuke-san’s rides.  can you believe he rode a wave for 162M (531′) for 53 seconds?  that’s unbelievable!!!

this man is the happiest surfer in the world right now.  and if you don’t believe me, just look for yourself!  haha!
