when i first started free diving 30 years ago, i use to pick up a lobster on almost every dive.  but now, i haven’t seen a lobster in many years here on Oahu.  the reason is because of over harvesting.  i use to see guys bringing in female lobsters with eggs.  that is bad.  and i use to also see guys bringing in lobsters when it’s off season.  that part, i can’t blame them because not too many people know when lobster season is.  so, i want to educate you guys. if there is a month with the letter “R” in it, that means it’s lobster season and you can pick up lobsters.  if there is no letter “R” in the month, it’s illegal.  this one i got had no eggs, and i picked it up in NovembeR.  that means it’s totally legal!  and it was totally delicious too!  remember the letter “R” ok!

 I’m sorry for the things I said when I was HUNGRY…

Good morning 6am.

North shore 2-4′ and bumpy.  No Haleiwa Pro today.

Ala Moana knee high and strong offshore.

Diamond Head head high and super windy.

Strong trade winds at 25mph.

Sun, clouds, rain, and huge rainbows.

Going surfing!

Have a wonderful day!

What is Calm?  What is Cool?  This is Calm, this is Cool!   i’m super happy to see Oshima-san surfing like this.  just going with the flow…  a good surfer and a good man… What is Calm?  What is Cool?  This is Calm, this is Cool… i’m so happy to see Watanabe-san surfing like this.  just going with the flow… she told me that she wanted to try to do a cross step.  that was her goal on this trip.  so i taught her how Kelia Moniz does it, and the did it perfectly like this.  so beautiful!  came yesterday, leaving tomorrow.  another hard core surfer that loves to travel, surf, and live each day to the fullest.  safe trip home and see you again Watanabe-san!
