look good to the left and you will see Rikita-san watching the Chinese in Chinatown gambling.  haha.. Chinatown in Honolulu has some of the best Chinese food on the island.  everything so good!  then off to Hawaii Kai to have a meeting.  a meeting on our plans for the rest of the day, and the rest of the week.  it’s going to be great!   went to look at a $4.4M house on the hills… walked in and couldn’t believe the view!!!   a panoramic view from Koko Head to Diamond Head.  i’d say the best view on this island. Rikita-san and i decided that we don’t need a big house like this.   if we did, nobody would like us anymore.  haha… i grew up in Hawaii Kai so looking at the whole Hawaii Kai in one glance brought back the golden memories all at once…  signing off from the potentially new Go-Naminori office…  keep dreaming…

Namaste:  Morning Meditation from Ala Moana Bowls…

Good morning 4:30am.

North shore waist high and clean.

Ala Moana knee high and clean.

Diamond head chest high sets and good.

Light winds so nice morning conditions.

Sunny and warm.

Going to the big ocean.

Have a wonderful day!

waves have been super small at Bowls so took Rikita-san for his first ever Diamond Head session!   waves were super fun!!!

such a beautiful natural place where you don’t have to worry about hotels being built.

on the way out, we bumped into Hawaii News Now weatherman Guy Hagi!  he was right about the weather and waves being perfect today!

over the past 5 years, i’ve watched Rikita-san becoming more and more calm.  and the more and more calm he’s becoming, the more and more cool he’s becoming.

from the first wave to the last, pure confidence…

i’m sure this won’t be the last time we surf here…

girls having fun in the sun.  just like summer!

right after we got out, everybody went in.  i guess my foiler friends scared everybody away.  haha…

this is the backside of the famous Diamond Head.  she’s so beautiful!

thank you Rikita-san for the wonderful day of surfing and hanging out.  and thank you for the snacks too!   see you tomorrow early morning and if Guy Hagi is right again, it will be another beautiful day!!!
