surfing for 5 years, Shuto-san always wanted to do a cutback. yesterday was the day. first was to make sure to get the right speed to complete the cutback. she had no problem catching lots of waves and getting lots of speed.

this wave was a good one. Shuto-san did a bottom turn, came up, and did a really nice cutback.

knees bent, looking forward, most weight on the back foot, and everything else will follow. this is a perfect example.

perfect surfing Shuto-san! i’m so happy that you did your first cutback yesterday! and also did about 15 more after that. so easy yeah! thank you for the wonderful day. keep on surfing and keep on smiling!

i use to like to run away into the ocean to get away from this small island where everybody knows everybody. but now, everybody knows everybody even in the ocean. i see my friends all over the place. here is my friend Duke with his brand new custom made baby. a 24′ force that is set up to catch huge fish. good seeing you Duke and thank you for letting me borrow your fish bag that day. big help!

and cool seeing Duke spending time with the kids. hawaii is all about the ocean and each time a kid can experience a day in it, it’s so precious. something you will never learn in a classroom.

Wild into the Street
Good morning 6am.
Waist high and clean at Ala Moana.
Chest high and windy at Diamond Head.
Trade winds at 15mph.
Sunny, showers, and rainbows.
Surfing all day.
Have a wonderful day!

oh my gosh again! today was such a beautiful day! finally the stormy and hot weather passed us by and our tropical paradise is back. everywhere you look, it’s beautiful!

had an awesome time surfing today with Shuto-san. we surfed 2 rounds totaling 5 hours, had a great lunch, dessert, and visited the most beautiful mountain in the world. super cool surfer that rode some perfect waves all day long.

it was gorgeous! i could sit here for hours and hours looking and looking. never getting bored of one of the most beautiful views in the world. great job girl!

another angle. can you believe the colors in this photo? amazing.

we just bought another gas grill so today was the perfect time to break it in.

family gatherings is important. gotta keep up with things in this very fast world.

so happy to have my younger brother Davis back here in hawaii. our family really missed him and we have lots of catching up to do.

having all you can eat ahi sashimi is amazing!

another generation of the Fukunaga bloodline. this kid’s going to be very tough!
tomorrow another very long happy day. going to sleep. goodnight!
