the traffic in hawaii has been super crazy. more housing being built but no new roads. i use to get frustrated but not anymore, especially when there is a huge rainbow following me home.
found these in my collection too. i love beetles!
ok, i was trying to find the setting to turn off the shutter sound on my camera. all my old iphones had the setting so i usually turned it off. but for some reason, i couldn’t find it on my iphone that was purchased in japan. why? after some researching, i found out that any shutter sound on any japanese phone can’t be turned off. it’s a law. really? yes, really. i found out that the shutter is loud and noisy for a reason. the reason is to let people know you’re taking photos of them. i also found out that there is a law called “Anti-Nuisance Ordinance” that will put you in jail for taking a photo of a woman without her permission. naked? up the skirt? no, any photo taken of any woman without their permission can put you in jail.
even for the guy who took this photo, he can go to jail. here is the law: The law states that it doesn’t matter what you are taking a picture of, if the woman being photographed is made to feel uncomfortable or starts feeling anxious, you are liable to be arrested. Even so much as pointing a camera in the victim’s direction without taking a picture is grounds for arrest.
i think that’s crazy!!! if people take photos up girls skirts or something, then i can understand him going to jail. but for just any photo? overboard.
now this guy should go to jail for sure. what an idiot!
so now that my japanese iphone will make a loud noise when taking photos, i better be careful because i take a lot of photos. and if any fully clothed girl is in any of them, i could go to jail. scary!

Kelia Moniz #1 and Super Ironman
i’ve been cleaning my house and throwing away so many things recently. BUT, i just couldn’t see myself throwing this away. to me, it’s just a tshirt and cap, but to millions of Kelia Moniz fans, it’s worth more than gold. the cap is by roxy, and the tshirt was made for the family only after Kelia won her first world championship. only 7 or so tshirts were made so it’s very rare. today, i gave it to one of Kelia’s fans and she is very very happy!
to the millions of people that own a gopro, be sure to grease the seal often. if you don’t, it will leak and say bye bye to your $400. they sell grease at diving shops and only costs a few dollars.
want to thank Yamari for the wonderful shirasu treats! Naoka brought it yesterday and this is all i’ve been eating. so fresh, go healthy, and so good!
had a great time with Sakurada-san and Hasegawa-san. just 2 very nice people enjoying surfing so much.
so stoked to see Sakurada-san enjoying surfing so much!
early morning session with sunrise over diamond head. i love it!
i call Sakurada-san “iron man” because he is very strong. i still can’t believe he dislocated his shoulder, popped it back in, and surfed again. amazing.
great surfing Sakurada-san! hope your shoulder feels better, and hope to surf with you guys again!
