found some old photos.  here is Shun and Ryota on their first trip to Hawaii.   they stayed at my house and i still remember them being so curious about everything…

Kelia and Isaiah at Kewalo’s.  this was before the world knew who the Moniz kids were.

i was lucky to go on a boat trip with Dane Kealoha.  this is one of the most legendary Hawaiians ever.  

Seth and Tony in Japan.  from amateur contests to the World Surf League.  dreams come true…

i took this photo of Lance Hookano at Big Rights 15 years ago.  this guy will catch all the best waves and if you’re in his way, he will run you right over.  i’ve seen it many many times…

Do you see the Love???

Good morning 3:20am.
North shore coming up today.
Ala Moana chest high sets and good.
Diamond Head head high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 25mph.
Sunny with rainbows.
Going to the sea.
Hava a wonderful day!

sun + wind + showers = RAINBOW

we’ve been finding some good waves for foiling.  this wave was overhead and about a mile long.  after one wave, you’re content…

it’s illegal to take small opihi from the ocean.  and it’s illegal to take anything from the protected marine life conservation district at Sharks Cove on the North Shore.  so that’s double illegal.  this 53 year old man took 378 opihi illegally and got caught.  his name is Roland Ching.  shame on you!

i really like this poster of social distancing.  next time i drop in on someone i’ll make sure i’m 6′ ahead…
