Good morning 6am.

Waves here are flat.

Weather is perfect.

Lots of Opihi.

Lots of rest.

Lots of relax.

Have a wonderful day!

uploading photos from our last Big Island trip.  took the boys to the pool for some free dive training.   Noah could at first hold his breath for 12 seconds, and we got it up to 35 seconds.  good progress Noah!Mateus was scared to hold his head under water but after seeing Aquaman, he challenged himself.  his first try was a 3 second breath hold.  haha. then he kept on practicing and got to 18 seconds.   once again, the cutest kid in the world.  i just look at him and just laugh.  Mateus asks me why i’m laughing at him and i just say “because you’re so cute!”   i wish i could have a haircut like this.  haha… the kids in the pool and my brother on the bbq grill.   this was our dinner on the Big Island.  can’t beat it…

 look at the new ratings!  Seth Moniz is 9th in the world!  he’s even above Kelly Slater so now he has a great chance to qualify for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo!  that is crazy to think he has a chance on his first year on the Tour!!!  Go-Seth!!!maybe some more future olympians?  this is one of my all time favorite photos ever.  Eitaro-kun and Yuko-chan sharing this special moment together.  surfing and family doesn’t get any better than this…  i miss you kids!  Mateus keeps on telling me that he wants to go to Mauna Kea again.  i think the main reason is because he wants to see Jason Momoa “Aquaman” again.   so after we came down from the mountain, we jumped in the pool and i was teaching Mateus how to be like Aquaman.  he was so cute holding his breath under water… my shoulder has been very painful for the past week.  i tried everything to try to make it better but nothing worked.  i went to the doctor yesterday and he told me to take a break… i usually don’t listen to my doctors, but this time i will.  so i’m going to take a break for the next 2 days.  i’ll be drinking a cold Big Wave beer watching the sunset.  maybe pick some opihi or maybe just do nothing.  hope to be back feeling better…
