it’s unbelievable how 21 containers fell into the water off Hawaii. 12 are still missing and nobody knows what was in them. that’s so dangerous for boaters so please be careful…
Nao-san sending me foods of art again from Niwa. look at this oyster! omg, my mouth is watering!!!
and this fresh maguro bowl with Yamari shirasu on the side. i’m so sad i can’t go to Japan anytime soon. for the past 28 years, this is the longest i’ve ever been away from my favorite country in the world. i’m still hoping i can go asap so please keep me updated because i’ll be on the first flight there!
last night, i had a dream. a dream about “Ahi Fever!” so today i dusted off my fishing poles, got out my big coolers, and now i’m on standby. if i can’t go to Japan to eat fresh ahi, i will go catch some fresh ahi myself…

First light is best light…
i got a text last night that a spot on the West side was going to be good. a spot i always wanted to foil so i woke up at 3am and waited in the dark. met the boys there and had the time of my life!
heard for the past 2 years that this is the best foiling spot on the island. i didn’t believe it until now. this is the Pipeline of foiling!
you can take off on pretty much any wave and it will be good. you’re flying so fast that most of time i’m just trying to hang on for your life.
now i know why everybody from town and the North shore drive out that far and paddle even farther to get here. it was so peaceful, so fast, and better than Disneyland…
you’re basically in the middle of the ocean riding to the beach. over 550 yards long or 500 meters of pure joy. i can’t wait to take my Japanese foilers and surfers there. i know they will love it more than i love it… thank you Fabian for the photos! see you there again very soon!
then drove back to town looking at the destruction to paradise. i never believed in the rail project back before it started, and still don’t now. overpriced, delayed, and ugly…
