so happy to see all the surf boys still the best of friends. from kid time till now, stronger than ever. fierce competitors in the water, but the best of friends out. this group is the next generation of the “hawaiian storm!” and always good to go by my sisters house because i actually use to live there with my grandpa. just him and i as he was helping me through college. also childhood memories of fishing in the canal, eating natto/rice, miso soup, and my grandma’s famous pumpkin pie. everywhere in that house, the memories keep on popping up and i love them all.

Tony introduced me to Ipa Beer last night. super good! i drank 2 and was feeling very happy!

my beautiful niece and my beautiful grand nephew. can’t wait to take this kid surfing again.

and a beautiful dessert after a beautiful dinner!

my 2 nephews. cool hawaiian boys!

woke up this morning and ate the most amazing power breakfast. starting off with fresh blueberries, banana, and strawberries in a bowl.

covered with low fat yogurt, chia seeds, granola, and sweet honey. been eating this every morning and feeling super energetic and healthy when i leave my house for a long day.

my friend Keola called me up the other day. he told me he’s going to move to Osaka. so he brought his brother in law Kitamura-san for a surf session. found out Kitamura-san is good friends with Morigen-san from kyoto. Morigen-san is a guy i respect, and now i have a cool new friend. perfect example of the cool surfing world i live in. and next time i’m in osaka, i have a hawaiian brother i can hang out with. going to take him surfing with me and spread the aloha! and eat takoyaki and ramen! haha. thanks boys for the wonderful blue morning!

Go insta meet Kelia Moniz!

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!
