spending Christmas with the family at Kelia’s house is precious. lots of laughs, lots of smiles, and most importantly, lots of love…

i was driving home late the other night and a policeman pulled me over. he shined the flashlight in my eyes for 2 seconds and said “you’re ok.” i asked him why he pulled me over and he said “because you were driving in the bike lane!” omg! sorry must be the sunburnt eyes… and good thing i wasn’t drinking our i would be go to jail…

my spearfishing friend always comes up to me and offers me either fish or tako. this time, it was tako. Take-kun getting his hands stinky…

omg, did you hear about the tourists in Morocco that got beheaded??? that’s crazy! i always wanted to go there but maybe not anymore.

Hideki-kun was free diving and found something cool.

i think this is part of an old airplane? anyway, it’s basically now a house for fish! good find and i’ll be back there to see if the fishes are home again.

it’s candid photos like this i love to take. just the moment of Father and Son discussing what just happened in nature. so precious…

thank you again to the boys for the awesome time. we shall dive again!

After work time…

Good morning 6am.
North shore big! 6-8′ and clean in the morning. Storm and onshore wind coming soon. Thunder and lighting now!
Ala Moana knee high and clean.
Diamond Head chest high and clean.
Light winds now becoming North at 10mph.
Rain, clouds, storm, and cool.
Going surfing.
Have a wonderful day!

before i slept last night, i knew Diamond Head would be the best spot today. it was absolutely perfect when i pulled up at 7:30am.

all i needed was 5 waves and i felt satisfied. only took 40 minutes to get that. then on my last wave, this lady called me a “dick.” just like asshole, that’s a pretty bad word to call a guy, but words don’t bother me anymore. she’s probably a hater to foilers. i know “silence is golden” but i had to say a few words. i just said “i’m not a dick, but if you call me a dick again, i’ll be a dick.” haha…

i go up and talk to my other foiler friend for a while about foiling and the crazy crime wave we’ve been having in Hawaii. he happens to be a Policeman. then i thought, i can’t wait till the day someone calls him a “dick!” haha…

then went to load up Mayuki with the Kawai-san family boys and headed for a spearfishing trip!

this is or 3rd year in a row spearfishing. i just love to watch these kids grow into fine young men. so stoked they love the ocean and this is going to be the unbreakable bond they will share forever…

thank you Hideki-kun, Kawai-san, and Takahito-kun for the wonderful afternoon…

now Mateus wants a motorcycle. oh boy…

and he wants to be just like his cousin. speaking of cousin, Seth, Joshua, and about 30 other of the boys are in Niigata right now tearing up powder snow. please be careful if you see them because they are freaking reckless!

Toda-san, Takami-san, and Matsu are on another mountain so they’re safe. haha. good to see you guys. seen all this snow makes me want to go jump into the powder! maybe see you guys soon…
