super happy to spear a fish yesterday. gave it to my homeless friend and he was super happy too!

Isaiah Moniz is a great guy. he’s been going to Molokai for many years so he’s been on a mission gathering Hawaiian Pro surfers boards to take there for the kids. we were eating dinner at Thanksgiving trying to figure out the best way to get 20 plus boards to Molokai. Mayuki can do it and so can we! it was that fast we decided to go so this is our main mission for this trip. there will be some very happy Hawaiian kids tomorrow!

when i was at the Nakamoto’s house, there was this album of our Japan trip. it was the first time i seen these photos! Jan Ken Po at the temple in Wakayama. haha. i don’t even remember this!!!

after 10 days of being a tour guide, we traveled to Osaka, Wakayama, Taiji, Hiroshima, Okinawa, and even Bali. i was trying to guide 18 people on that trip and the last day, i must have hit the wall! and the whole time, i had a fish fin stuck in my right hand from a month before the trip. it was killing me the whole time and ended up getting surgery to get it removed when i got back. till this day, i have no idea how i pulled that off. but looking back, it was all worth it because we had the most amazing time! i get asked over and over “hey kirby, when are we coming back?” hey, i’m still recovering guys! haha…

somebody asked what was up with that duck? to be honest, i still don’t know what that was all about. sometimes birds fly onto me, sometimes ducks fly onto me, i still don’t know why? but i really thing somebody is playing a joke on me because this stuff isn’t supposed to happen.

somebody asked me if i’m scared of wiping out? no i’m not. i actually think it’s fun to be in a natural washing machine. the wave is pulling you down while your leash is pulling your leg up. what can you do? nothing but go with the flow…

somebody asked me what do i think about the guy who went exploring to the wrong island and got killed by arrows? i’m an explorer and a very curious person. it could have been me doing that exact same thing. we know the risks to these types of things. this guy chose the life he wanted. he knew the risks and knew that dying was one of those risks. he took that chance and was killed. do i feel sorry for him? not really. this guy probably lived his life to the fullest and died doing what he loved most. so the family now wants to go look for his body? i say no way. leave things the way it is. the natives on that island want to be left alone. so leave them alone. we have to respect other cultures.

somebody asked what the craziest thing i ever did was? i’d say hiking and camping on the top of this active volcano in Guatemala. ever since then, there were many deadly eruptions. so when it erupted again a few days ago, i got chicken skin again.

somebody asked me what i’m going to do this week? i’m on Mayuki right now crossing a pretty crazy channel on this high surf warning. i plan to visit relatives on a neighboring island. then when the swell hits 50′ faces tomorrow, i plan to foil on the way back to Oahu. is it possible? there is only one way to find out…

opps! i forgot to post this the other morning…
