i get a call from Toda-san in the afternoon “hey kirby, when are you guys going surfing again?” i say “1pm.” he says, “ok, i will see you there.” i pull up in the parking lot and see Toda-san with his flying drone. yeah! i was so happy because 2 days ago was the most beautiful day of the year! postcard perfect.

Inaida-san, Yuki-san, and I paddle out to very uncrowded bowls on a sunday afternoon. look at this whole ocean and you can see only 3 of us paddlng out. Toda-san on the rocks with precise control of his very expensive drone.

we shoot for 30 minutes and this was our last wave. Inaida-san and I saying “Hello to the sky!” what an awesome photo of us having such a great time. Toda-san is re-editing the video and it will be posted shortly on youtube. once you see it, you will understand why hawaii is paradise, and you will understand why i love this wonderful life! thank you Toda-san for the wonderful photos and video. you are awesome!

check out this hotel room on the beach. i won’t tell you where because i hope to someday book a room there.

yes, another day and another tako in the bag. it’s winter season here so the start of tako season is on!

check out this nice guy giving this lady a helping hand. haha.

Thirsty?
Good morning 5:50am.
North shore 3-5′ and getting cleaner and smaller. Still bumpy but better than yesterday.
South shore still small at flat to knee high. Super clean! Bigger at Diamond Head with side offshore winds. Winds are North/East at 15-20mph.
Sun, clouds, showers, and rainbows.
Have a wonderful day!

Yakiniku House!
We ate all!!!
