since i took this week off to travel and can’t travel, i’m working on a lot of my projects. one is shopping a lot. something i haven’t done in a while. picked up some new mats for the truck…

another is making things nice again. and a simple can of spray paint can do just that.

playing around and adjusting my foils too. every little change matters.

whale season is here! can’t wait to dive with the whales again!

i seriously don’t feel as old as i really am. age is just a number i guess…

miss traveling with my family. we had the most amazing time in Japan.

miss getting barreled at Typhoon season in Japan. unfortunately i missed the whole season this year. i had my reasons…

ever since i came home from the airport 3 days ago, i just left my suitcase and clothes by the door. so yeah, i’m ready to go any minute. and when that minute comes, i’m gone!

Welcome to Why Kiki?!

Good morning 5:50am.
North shore shoulder high and morning sickness.
Ala Moana shoulder high and clean.
Diamond Head head high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 20mph.
Clouds, showers, sun, and warm.
Going surfing and foiling.
Have a wonderful day!

i drive 25 minutes just to get my favorite Bubble Milk Tea.

and my friends and i never get disappointed. cold, refreshing, and sweet! perfect for after a hot surf session like this morning at Bowls…

did you hear about the Kirby Cafe that opened up in Tokyo?

i better go check it out and collect my royalties for using my name. haha.

this is Kimura-san’s cafe in Wakayama. yes, i was supposed to be sitting right next to him on this counter if i got on my flight. but instead…

i came home and went foiling. no, i’m not complaining…
