wanted to welcome Naoka to hawaii. going to be a great learning experience for him living the life here and learning english, aloha, and how to be on time. haha. i’m afraid hawaiian style might make him even more late.

riding a moped is the cheapest way of transportation in hawaii. be careful dude! look forward!

spent the past 2 evenings in the ocean surfing and just enjoying nature. it’s been so beautiful!

getting ready for the sunrise is always exciting. a different sunset every single day of the year.

yellow flash? being in the ocean and watching the sun set as another day goes by is like peace in heaven.

TSSC shaper Chris Kaysen from california shaped me this single fin about 12 years ago. i ride it about 1x per 3 years and love it. it’s not for sale so if you want one, you have to order your own. this is the kind of board you have to have in your collection.

believe it or not, it paddles easy, it turns easy, and rides like a cadillac. 5’8 single fin just like the one i started surfing with.

and today i did the same thing. go surf in the evening, and watch the beautiful sunset. the waves were so fun!

another day goes by. it’s already november and time is going by pretty fast. enjoy life to the fullest! good night from hawaii.

So beautiful again!!!

well, it was another great halloween in hawaii. cool to be here to experience waikiki at its craziest time. here’s how it went.

paddled out to rock piles and seen some big curly colorful hair? Akoi-san looking really cool!

Maki-san was the other half. these 2 girls surely made it a day of fun in the water.

Maki-san, diamond head, and mr. sun!

check out Yuko-chan’s costume. she’s a japanese amasan. cool! haha.

then went for a walk down waikiki. tried to focus on japanese celebrating halloween here in hawaii. it’s become a big thing for japanese tourists and hawaii is the best place in the world for halloween. cool costumes.

another group. i can tell it’s japanese because of the “peace” signs. cool!

and no, this girl in the bikini wasn’t japanese. i know because japanese don’t dress like this and walk down waikiki at night no matter what.

some american’s in the house.

of the tens of thousands of people, there were also drunk people. this guy stopped in the middle of the most packed sidewalk and started throwing up. he was so drunk and i actually thought it was part of his act. then when i seen him throwing up over and over, i knew it was real. people were freaking out. kids and everything. it wasn’t that cool to see.

after his friends carried his limp body off the sidewalk, the crowded started to walk all over the barf. it was absolutely disgusting!!!

more japanese tourists enjoying halloween in hawaii.

some of my friends enjoying the night. can you spot Reid, Yuko-chan, Maki-san, and Taka-san in this photo?

the cutest kid costume had to go to my grand nephew. he is sooooo cute!!!

and yes, this was me. i bought this mask in japan and luckily nobody else in hawaii had one. i scared a few kids walking down the street but it was all good. i seen so many of my friends on the street and was just playing with their minds. i would bother them and walk away. they had no idea it was me. haha. and yes, i stuck out my tongue out all night long. haha. happy halloween from hawaii!
