today was a full boys day out in the sea.  started off this morning with these 4 doctors from Japan.  all specialists in what they do and now brand new surfers specialist too!   Ryu-san surfs really good.  he can paddle out and surf on his own.  just don’t get in his way.  haha… Ryu-san surfed many times before.  but the other 3 doctors surfed today for their very first time.  i was so stoked to show them the way to have a wonderful time!   Dr. Nishiike-san got up super fast and was surfing from the first wave.  look how calm and cool he is!   Dr. Minoda-san caught a pretty big one today.  i’m pretty sure he was surprised on how fast he was going! Dr. Miyamoto-san had the ride of his life!  smiling the whole way!   i’m very happy how cool Dr. Ryu-san has become.  a very happy man, a very calm man, and a very cool man.  i enjoy each and every ride with him… the 5 of us boys and a blast this morning.  i respect Doctors a lot because they help people.  and i respect Doctors who surf even more because they challenge themselves and have a happier life.  and a happier life is a healthier life… nice to meet you guys.  welcome to the no stress world of surfing!  and hope to see you guys again.  tomorrow is Ryu-san’s last day of Boot Camp so i’m going to be stricter than ever.  haha… after i dropped off the surfer boys, i went to meet up with the diving boys, all 5 of them.  i have millions of stories about our full day of diving, but that will have to wait because i’m falling asleep.   all i can say is our day was filled with deep water, fun, fish, tuna rice, apples, and 2 big tigers.  yes, 2 big Tiger Sharks came to visit us.   this one was 10′ plus, and the other one was 8′ plus.  i’ve never seen 2 tiger sharks in one day before so this was special for me, and for the rest of my dive buddies.  a day we will never forget…

Seth went to Molokai for one thing.  free dive!  

 there are no fancy boat harbors on this side of the island.  so you pretty much have to walk in shoulder deep water to get to the boat.  

we loaded up everyone in Mayuki and took off to get dinner.

i’m a very happy guy when i’m with my family and friends.  it’s like a dream for me.

Takahashi-san was our Iron Chef.  he was preparing meals for us all night long.

no, this is not maguro, this is deer and tastes better than maguro.

omg, if you haven’t tried this before, you don’t know what you’re missing…

this was the fish i speared earlier.  so fresh and so good!

then we watched the UFC fight online.  just killing time before our night dive…

some cold beers, some good people, and amazing food from the island.  this is Molokai Style…
