super happy friendship time yesterday in the ocean. surf, smile, corona.

went out to Aulani Resort this morning to pick up Masada-san. i haven’t been out there in a while so didn’t realize how beautiful it was. it’s like a whole new community on the west side.

and of course, Aulani equals Mickey Mouse right?

today was such a beautiful day! omg, i could see molokai, lanai, maui, and even the big island. it was so clear!

and waves for everyone.

had a great time surfing all day with Masada-san. watched him catch so many long waves. and watched some of his great surfing.

we surfed about 4.5 hours. pretty much spent the whole day at the beach. happy surfer! thank you Masada-san for the wonderful day. keep on surfing.

it is the first time in my life i drove out to the west side twice in a day. heading back on the freeway, you can see tiny tiny diamond head way on the horizon. looked super small, and super far.

came home to some fresh eggs. thank you Salt and Pepper! tomorrow’s breakfast.

seen Akoi-san on some really good ones today. super style and grace. i love to watch her surf.

So beautiful today! OMG!
Clean air, clean water, clean waves, clean Hawaii.
Keep clean.

had such a great time yesterday. took Rie-san and Shizuka-san surfing in the morning. two very energetic osaka girls. Rie-san’s been surfing for a while, and Shizuka-san made her surfing debut. both girls surfed so good for so long. i was surprised how much energy they had.

then we were all hungry so pho was for lunch. gosh, i love it! the girls loved it too.

had some time so went to check out tantalus. it was a picture perfect day.

peace from the top of the road!

i really love this road. just so green and so peaceful. i had the girls take a walk and i shot some photos. a 10 minute photo shoot?

cool! just please don’t walk in the middle of the street in waikiki. you will get hit for sure.

cool background huh? i love it.

the namaste pose. thank you Rie-san and Shizuka-san for the super fun morning! you girls are great models!

then i took my friends to a secret spot in the afternoon. the waves were perfect as usual. nobody out so we scored.

thanks for the wonderful afternoon Nishi-san, Kanae-san, Hikaru-san, and Saito-san. see you guys again really soon!
