My golden sunset drive home…  Loving every color of it!

Good morning 4:20am.

Ala Moana knee to waist high and clean.

Diamond Head chest high and clean.

No wind so nice morning conditions.

Clouds, sun, rain, and maybe thunder.

Going sunrise surfing and mid-morning airplane ride.

Have a wonderful day!

7:30am:  surfed Ala Moana with Mr. and Mrs. Suzuki-san!  newlywed surf session!

11am:  ate Maui Mike’s.  half chicken with fries and drink.  so juicy!

1pm:  checked out Haleiwa Beach Park.  strong current, sharp coral, and flat waves…

2:30pm:  back to Honolulu to eat Waiola Shave Ice.  cool down time!

3:15pm:  surfing Bowls with Oshima-san.  nobody out, only us!!!

4pm:  my turn.  feeling so good!

5:30pm:  doing my blog.  packing.  then sleeping.  trip tomorrow.  goodnight…

 i asked this kid at Bowls, “hey, where’s you dad been?”  he said “my dad got stitches next to his eye.  a mango fell on him.”  what???  really???  the kid wasn’t joking.  good thing it wasn’t a coconut… want to thank Kelia again for this amazing sherbet.  it’s so refreshing after coming home from a hot day in the sun. i was craving pigs feet soup for a very long time.  so yesterday we went to this super local restaurant in town.  we just love it here!   and finally, my dream came true!  pigs feet soup!!! some people love it, some people hate it.  i love it!   if you start foiling, there will be a turning point.  a point where you go from being the most frustrated person in the world, to becoming the most happiest person in the world.   just ask Toda-san how long that took.  haha…but once you fly high, life is really good.  Toda-san is a super good surfer so from now, his foiling level will rise big time.  he’s going to get good very very fast…  Go-Toda-san!
