ok, i have about a hundred photos on my desktop to upload to my blog. things happening way to fast to keep up so better post lots at a time before they disappear. spent the day in the ocean surfing and having so much fun. it couldn’t have been a better day! time flies but i’m having a great time and great memories. thank goodness for photos or yesterday will be a blur…

surfing with Team Ina is always so fun. i don’t know why but for some reason, we always time it perfectly. perfect waves with nobody out? yeah, another empty day in paradise.

Nomura-san just graduated from the 11’0. now he’s on a 10’0 and surfing great! i could see his body getting stronger and stronger. pure inner muscle!!!

great surfing Nomura-san! next time you will be on a 9’0! keep on surfing!

it is a great feeling to finish riding a good wave. a feeling i know so well. this is pure stoke! this is Inaida-san living in the moment.

Inaida-san’s trainers are always tell me that he’s in the best shape in his life. surfing is the best training in the world, and the ocean is the best gym in the world. what a great place to be!

can you believe there is way over a million people on oahu? i find it hard to believe when we have the whole ocean to ourselves.

today was another long beautiful day. and this was my happy ending, best japanese sushi in the world! tuna from Ohma, Japan. Oh Ma Gosh!

presentation is key. i learned that from japanese culture.

Chef Matsuura-san making our lunch for tomorrow.

the fattest maki roll in the world.

oh ma gosh! haha!

sushi is an art and if you don’t believe me, go see it for yourself.

incredible!

my lunch for tomorrow!

thank you Inaida-san and Yuki-san for your kindness. i’ve been learning a lot about life and success from the both of you. someday i will be on the top of the world! have a safe trip back to japan and see you again very soon.

Hawaii!

i feel pretty safe here in hawaii with our military, coast guard, police, and aloha. when i go on boat trips in indonesia, i know i have a great chance to be lost at sea. but in hawaii, people respond really fast. and most of the times they won’t give up until they find you.

and with our military here, you’d be crazy to mess with our island.

i caught a wave yesterday at diamond head. i rarely longboard out there but when i do, i get a different view of things. more time to appreciate the waves, the people, and the beautiful green mountain called diamond head.

when you want to turn left, look left! not down!

then as i looked to see if my camera was on or not, i looked down and fell down. haha. i didn’t realize i stepped on a piece of black tar oil on the beach. that’s why i have a black spot on my foot. shame on you boats that spill oil!

still tripping out on the monster tako!!! imagine this monster was on my head trying to eat me. it was funny, but at the same time, pretty scary when i think about it. i’m going to eat every single piece of this big monster!
