Tajima-san has been surfing for a very long time. at the young age of 57 years old, he has the fire like a young boy when surfing. super stoked on surfing, and enjoying every wave and every moment.

the 7’0 FatBat was perfect for the waves yesterday. easy to paddle, easy to take off, and easy to ride the wave forever.

thank you again Tajima-san for the awesome surf session. so stoked to see you ripping! enjoy hawaii!

it’s been a while since i rode the FatBat, and i forgot how fun it is! super smooth, super fast, and super TSSC!

just love how the spray comes off the tail. the harder you push, the faster you go! the secret to a magic board.

happy smiles from a happy man! surf your dream!

Feel the nature. Enjoy every minute of it!
Good morning 6am.
Small waves today.
Waist high at Ala Moana.
Shoulder high at Diamond Head.
Lighter winds so clean conditions.
Super sunny and very warm.
Going surfing.
Have a wonderful day!

i had such a great time surfing with Tajima-san this morning. a super stoked surfer from tokushima who loves to surf. hasn’t been to hawaii in 35 years so it must have been a new experience. Tajima-san surfed really well. it was super crowded, but super uncrowded. lots of surfers in the water, but nobody near us. score again! good time Tajima-san! thank you and see you again!

after surfing a long session, we headed to hawaiian style ramen, Pho. like usual, very very good.

another beautiful hawaiian day. diamond head with some overhead sets and not too crowded.

then went to my sisters house to celebrate Joshua’s big WQS victory! another family gathering and another day to be thankful to have such a great family and friends.

poke, poke, and poke. hawaiian style. oh so good!

surfers get hungry after a long day at the beach. good surf and good food equals good day.

the Moniz house. always welcomed here.

so dam proud of this kid Joshua Moniz. he flew all the way to the bahamas, surfed his heart out, beat all the competition from all around the world, and came back home like it was just another day on the job. very humble, very respectable, and a very big heart. good job in representing hawaii Joshua!
