last Sunday we went to look at multi-million dollar houses.  this one was at Diamond Head and it was listed for $5 million.  i really liked the furniture.   if i build a dream house, there will definitely be a day bed exactly like this.  i’ll be having my morning tea watching the sunrise and waves.   and my kitchen will look something like this.   a surfboard table?  yes, a great idea… and my bedroom will look something like this.  very simple and very comfortable.   it was so funny because right when i signed in, i saw a very familiar name?  Shintaro Goto?  i know him!!!  he walked out 1 minute before we walked in.  then i seen him the next day at Bowls.  what a small island.then we saved the best for last.  look at this gorgeous view!   one side has an obstructed view of the ocean, and the other side has an obstructed view of Diamond Head.  Mama and Papa Iwata-san were loving it from both sides…isn’t this amazing?  this was one of the best condos i’ve ever seen… imagine waking up every morning to the sunrise and this amazing view of the Pacific Ocean.  for $7 million, you surely can!   as for me, i’ll keep dreaming big…

Surf and Yoga:  Namaste…

Good morning 5:40am.

Ala Moana head high and perfect.

Diamond Head overhead and perfect.

Super nice morning conditions.

Light winds and onshore later.

Sun, clouds, and very hot.

Going surfing and surfing.

Have a wonderful day!

Kitahama-san is on Boot Camp Day 3 and compared to Day 1, he’s riding bigger, stronger, and happier.  all he wanted was to ride bigger and bigger waves.  and today was pretty big!

when you see movies with Sergeant’s running along their soldiers and yelling instructions, that’s kind of what i do.  so you can imagine me yelling right here.  “bend you knees and keep low!”  haha..

as for Lisa-chan, i just have to tell her something on the beach and she will remember exactly what to do.  a very smart girl.

look at this photo closely.  you can see Lisa-chan riding and you can also see the beautiful reef under her.  i love it!

a happy day for a happy girl…

for our last wave, we went outside and waited for the biggest wave of the day.  and when Kitahama-san caught it, he was in for the ride of his life!

and to end off Boot Camp with a beautiful cross step.  i’m glad i didn’t miss moments like this.  i get to see it from front and back.

a very smart man with very good surfing skills.  thank you guys for the Boot Camp and smiles…

Team Fuji is heading to Indonesia!  hope you guys didn’t feel that big earthquake yesterday…  please be safe.

when my nephews were kids, they use to come to my house and borrow everything.  and of course i would let them use it.  so now they are all successful young adults, it’s my turn to go borrow stuff from them.  haha.  i went to Seth’s house and borrowed a surfboard.  thanks Seth!

then i came home and went to Micah’s house to borrow his new toy.  he just got this Akila Aipa twin fin and loves it.  so now Uncle Kirby is going to try it tomorrow and i’m sure i will love it too.  and if it works good, i won’t return it.  haha.  thanks Micah!
