it’s not even officially Summer in Hawaii, but it sure feels like it!  warm weather, blue sky, and waves every single day!   since it’s Summer, i hope to find time to have more BBQ’s.  fresh oysters to start! corn and rib eye steak next.   and i always like to save the best for last.  oh deer!  omg, i need to go to Molokai soon to get more deer!!! want to thank Naoka for these cool towels!!!  super big, fluffy, and very useful… this one is going into the truck!  perfect for a picnic blanket!  The Rad Rug?  i’m going to open this now and see what it’s all about…  thank you Kykullo and Naoka! found this photo i took of these local kids on a secluded island off of Indonesia.  you won’t find anything more pure than this…

Tow-in Training…

Good morning 6:50am.

Ala Moana overhead and good.

Diamond Head 5′ and bumpy.

Trade winds at 20mph.

Sunny and very warm.

Going to the ocean.

Have a wonderful day!

it was just a normal surf trip to a secret spot when we decided to do something different.  so i just throw out the rope and we did something different.  something i learned from my Bali trip.  forget the secret spot, the ocean was our secret garden!   Aoi-kun ripping from the start.  amazing!

then Toda-san got up on the foil and rode it for 2 minutes!!!!   we were all yelling and screaming!!!  it was so cool to see, and so funny at the same time.   Toda-san was stoked!

then Toda-san let go the rope and started foiling the wake off Mayuki!  omg, i didn’t know that was even possible!

then Aoi-kun wanted to try for his first time.  gosh, it’s good to be a young boy with so much energy.  good job boy!

after watching Toda-san ride the wake, i wanted to try myself.

that was freaking so cool!   now i can foil anytime and anywhere in our secret garden!  oh, and don’t worry Doctor, i didn’t get my eye wet.

so yes, i’m back in the ocean loving the life i love so much.   hanging out with friends, enjoying nature, and creating everlasting memories…  can’t wait to do it again!
