it’s pretty cool seeing how much time and effort my brother puts into his Grandson Mateus.  he would do anything for this kid.

and when Mateus gets older, i’m sure he will remember his cool Grandpa.  kids don’t forget things like this…

omg, look what else survived the fire at my sisters house.  

little toys she got from my Grandma Fukunaga.  the kids love to play with these.  so happy because you can’t find little Japanese dolls like this in Hawaii.   the kids are happy too! 

speaking of kids.  i miss the days of surfing with my 2 beautiful nieces when they were kids.  now they’re all grown up with kids of their own.  time sure goes by so quickly…

and i remember when Kimura-san and i stopped by the Billabong shop in Waikiki many years ago.  there was a poster of a little surfer kid by name of Seth Moniz.  now this little kid is super famous and on the World Tour.  BELIEVE…

today was Good Friday in Hawaii so it was a holiday.  went out for a journey to find good waves.  foiled an hour until my legs were burnt.   

then i went to jump back on Mayuki and some dolphins came by.  

it’s been a while since i seen dolphins so i followed them all the way up to Diamond Head.  they were swimming very slow and looked so peaceful.  it definitely made me very happy! 

i ended up going out on the boat 3 times today.  all happy times with all happy people.  today was one of the most content days of my life.  i can’t explain how happy i am right now…

Good morning 4am.
Ala Moana chest high sets and good.
Diamond Head shoulder high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 20mph.
Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!
