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!

Spread your wings and fly!
Today 10:18am @ Bowls.

i was watching a documentary last night. it was about the Samurai Warrior Musashi Miyamoto. first time i’ve ever heard of him and from start to finish, i was mesmerized on this legend warrior.

“Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.” wow, that is an awesome quote.

“Do not regret what is done.” wow, another awesome quote. one that i truly believe in.

The Book of Five Rings by Musashi Miyamoto. i just ordered mine now!
watch this documentary of this true samurai. wish there were more warriors like him living today.
