went to Chinatown with the Nakahodo-san family. super cool and happy family from Okinawa. look at Ken-kun trying to open his lollipop he got from the Chinese restaurant. haha.

went to look at Open Houses. if i had $680,000 right now, i’d buy this beautiful condo. this is only the lanai. the rest of the condo was amazing.

had a great time playing with Ken-kun. this 2 year old kid has the most adorable smile.

moved on to more condos. this one not bad at $890,000.

then moved on to some houses. this on was really cheap. only $8.6 million. haha.

having more kid time because hangout out with kids makes me feel like a kid.

yes, it’s everybody’s dream to live in Hawaii. including mine.

i can’t believe Nakahodo-san got up like this on his 2nd day. we’re going again tomorrow so i’m sure it’s only going to get better.

and i heard Toda-san’s getting better too. this is full control…

yesterday, i spotted out these slippers made in Okinawa and it reminded me of all the great times i had on that beautiful island. i put together a video back in 2009 of one of the many memorable trips. want to say Haisai to all my friends. make sure you watch the end of this video because this is what happens after a few Orion beers and a few more glasses of Awamori. haha…

Going foiling…

Good morning 6am.
South swell gone.
Ala Moana waist with chest high sets and clean.
Diamond Head chest high and bumpy.
Waikiki knee high and good for longboard.
Trade winds at 15mph.
Sunny and very warm.
Going foiling, surfing, and BBQing.
Have a wonderful day!

Nakahodo-san wanted to surf somewhere different. so i took him to the birthplace of surfing, Waikiki!

and it couldn’t have been any more beautiful then it was today. look at this!!!

i like to surf Waikiki because i like to people watch. watching everybody have a wonderful time just sharing and enjoying waves. a lot different than Ala Moana.

and yeah, you won’t find more girls than boys at any other spot in the world. welcome to Pop’s!

Nakahodo-san wanted to surf a wave you won’t find in Okinawa. Okinawa is hollow and shallow. Pop’s is the exact different. so yes, it’s so easy…

been a while since i walked the board. i fell right after this cross step because i looked down. opps…

Takami-san on the nice cutback. so nice to see Toda-san, Maki-san, and Takami-san out enjoying this beautiful morning.

Nakahodo-san on the wave of the day! look how beautiful this wave is! he ended up riding it all the way in.

i can just take off, look at Diamond Head, and feel so free.

Takami-san on her last wave.

Nakahodo-san on his last wave.

felt so fulfilled and this was only half a day? the other half coming soon…
