i had a great time teaching this model how to surf. yeah, i knew she was a model because how beautiful she was. but come to find out, Martina isn’t just a model, she’s a super model.

at first, she kept on telling me “i can’t get hurt.” and i kept on saying “don’t worry, be happy.” i really didn’t take it seriously but safety is always my top priority so i wasn’t worried. there is a lot i can do to make the situation safe, but the rest is up to you. just like walking down a street. i can hold your hand, but if you fall on your own, that’s that. haha.

this is super model surfer Martina. i found this photo on the web and thought to myself “wow, she’s freaking beautiful! thank goodness she didn’t get hurt. i would have been in big trouble.”

OMG! Look at the sunrise!!
Good morning 6:15am.
South shore chest high and perfect everywhere.
Diamond Head super good!
No wind.
No clouds.
Perfect again.
Have a wonderful day!

as a surfer, you have 2 choices in your life. to focus in school, or not to focus in school. some surfers do it, some don’t. on top of that, you have another 2 choices regarding your education. public or private. as for me, i went through the public education system and it seemed to work out fine. public is free, private is not free.
i pass by Punahou School very often. telling everybody about the great graduates of this amazing and very expensive school.

first, tuition for the 2015 – 2016 school year for Kindergarten – Grade 12 is $22,050. so kindergarden to 12th grade is 13 years. that equals $286,650 for a complete education at Punahou. omg! so expensive!
some of the Punahou alumni include: Gerry Lopez (1972, 1973 Pipeline Masters Champion), Fred Hemmings (1968 World Surfing Champion and Hawaii State Senator), Carissa Moore (2011 ASP Woman’s World Champion), Michelle Wie, President Barack Obama, Steve Case (founder and CEO of American Online), Pierre Omidyar (founder of eBay), Jeff Hackman (founder of Quiksilver), David Hamamoto (partner of Goldman Sachs and CEO of Northstar Capital), and Judy Anderson (Miss Hawaii and Miss USA).
Wow! that’s a solid list of successful surfers and businessmen, including our president. proof that Punahou is an amazing school. you better start saving money.
now to change the subject, check out this video that just came out. Seth Moniz and Zeke Lau @ Liquid Aloha! amazing waves, amazing surfing, amazing footage, and amazing kids.
