heard there is supposed to be the best ramen shop in hawaii downtown. it’s called Lucky Belly and is rated pretty high. $14 per ramen so more expensive than new york. wondering how it tastes? can somebody go and tell me how it is? i don’t like to be disappointed when it comes to food anymore so i’ll just wait until i go to japan to eat my ramen. by the way, is that an aribiki sausage in the ramen??? very interesting.

got a call from Matchi yesterday alarming me about the next typhoon. it’s unbelievable how things happen for me. the typhoon swell is supposed to arrive in japan the same day i arrive. so it’s straight to shikoku for me!

Typhoon Maysak is supposed to get pretty big. probably have waves all the way from the philippics, to taiwan, to japan. i hope to score some good waves!

when ever i teach surfing, i teach about safety. i tell everybody to jump off if they are going to hit someone. jump off to the side before impact.

who’s fault? in this case, the guy in the inside who is trying to paddle for a wave without even looking. that is very dangerous. shame on the person who took him out there. but luckily, Fujimoto-san did exactly what i told him to do. JUMP!!!

then i watch as Fujimoto-san’s 11’0 surfboard goes up the guys butt. he didn’t even know what hit him. after that, i told the poor guy, “i think you should go in.”

2-4′ and super fun!!!

Perfect Timing!
Good morning 4:30am.
North shore 2-4′ and coming down.
South shore chest high and morning sickness.
Windy trade winds at 25mph.
Clouds, showers, and rainbows later.
Going dawn patrol.
Have a wonderful day!
