Love, Life, Hope: She is the Ocean…

my friend needed help doing some landscaping so i went to Waipahu to pick up some gravel.

one scoop of gravel is only $50. pretty cheap!

loaded up the truck, then went back to town to fill up a yard. i haven’t worked this hard in years. haha.

every time i go to Waipahu, i eat the best Filipino food. here is my favorite pork adobo fried rice omelet. omg!

Jeannie Chesser is the sweetest woman in the world. surfing everyday for fun, and a fine surfboard artist for work. she sent me an invite yesterday to see this amazing movie coming out called “She is the Ocean.” Jeannie has a part in this amazing movie featuring the connection with Women and Ocean. Jeannie lost her only child Todd Chesser to big waves. i will never forget hearing the news of Todd’s death on that tragic Thanksgiving Day. each year passes and i still think about that day. such an amazing pro surfer that was respected around the world. i watched this trailer and it is so powerful. now i’m buying my ticket to watch it at the Honolulu Art Museum. you better not miss it!

Good morning 6am.
Ala Moana waist with chest high sets and clean. Back to back South swells coming.
Diamond Head shoulder high and bumpy.
Strong trade winds at 25mph.
Sun, clouds, showers, and rainbows.
Going surfing and foiling.
Have a wonderful day!

Drone of Dreams…

yes, once a month is a must for Hawaiian food. and that once a month is today!

want to thank Kekoa for this amazing gift! a perfect 2 burner grill for Mayuki!

now we can have nabe on one side, and fry fish on the other. can’t wait to use it!

want to thank Kuruhara-san for this box of treats. i really liked the kinako mochi!

want to thank Toda-san for the amazing drone footage. if you were to ask me what was one of my dreams 30 years ago, i would have said something like this. the most beautiful boat, the most beautiful island, dolphins, warm tropical weather, clean water, friends, and the most golden moment ever… so yes, this was one of my dreams 30 years ago so you can say that i’m living in my dreams right now…
