just got the photos off my camera from the other day surfing with Watanabe-san. so cool to see such a stoked surfer from Ishinomaki!

and so cool and stoked to be sharing a wave together. this is not dropping in, this is called sharing.

and yes, i’m always on the sidelines making sure you’re bending your knees and looking forward.

perfect surfing! i still can’t believe we were the only ones out that day.

the waves were pretty big too. caught so many good waves. what an awesome day it was!

smiles in hawaii. so happy!

thank you Watanabe-san for a wonderful surf session. please tell your beautiful wife and daughters Aoi-chan and Moe-chan i said hello from hawaii. take care and keep on surfing! aloha!

been posting blogs from my iphone and sometimes the photo posts, and sometimes it doesn’t. i use to get frustrated from this complicated digital world, but at the same time, it can’t be helped. i’m realizing that nothing in this world is perfect and it helps me live a stress free life. anyway, this is one of the photos that didn’t make it to my english blog. a crazy hostage situation. this is in brazil and the hostage has a bomb strapped to him. i’m not sure what i would do in a situation like this. scary.

been looking around for rooms to rent here in hawaii for a friend. it’s kind of like a hostel/homestay kind of thing. a local house in a local neighborhood. $40/night is much cheaper than a hotel in waikiki. why not right? now my friend can stay twice as longer than usual if he had to get a hotel room. i just got back from checking out this house and it was pretty cool. and the lady was pretty cool too. alternative affordable living in hawaii.
