i had another wonderful day! went surfing this morning with these cool guys from Osaka. Ryo-kun, Hayato-kun, and Ban-chan. three surfers from osaka that came for a month long stay here in hawaii. the waves were fun and nobody was out around us. we just enjoyed wave after wave, laugh after laugh. it was so fun!

then since it’s their first time here in hawaii, we went to the north shore for a drive. white sandy beaches with everybody enjoying the summer heat. this is haleiwa when it’s flat and they couldn’t believe that this spot goes up to 30′ faces in the winter months. crazy!

went to check out some turtles and had to take this panorama shot. such a beautiful day!

i had a full fun day with these guys. great mexican lunch, sightseeing, and shave ice. just hanging out and having fun. i’m sure they will enjoy the rest of their long vacation here in hawaii! keep on surfing guys!

waimea bay was just so beautiful today. looking at those sailboats made me look forward to my upcoming north indo boat trip coming up in september. i can’t wait!

my grand nephew is the cutest baby ever. i wish i could steal him and keep him forever. but then again, he only lives next door so i can just borrow him when ever i want to. and when he starts to cry, i can just take him home. haha.
the other day i had to pick up my customer in the lobby of her hotel. she asked “how would i know it’s you?” i told her “just look for the darkest japanese guy you’ve ever seen.” she found me in 2 seconds. haha. i’m so dark now and it’s only the beginning of summer!

South shore morning surf.
North shore afternoon heaven.
Beautiful HAWAIIAN day!

yesterday was another beautiful day. tradewind showers so beautiful rainbows. just to be in the water early in the morning enjoying the surf and rainbows was awesome. welcome to my office!

Nanami-san amazes me! she just started surfing and can already get her rail into the water. and when you get the rain into the water, the board will fly! look at the left side of the board and see the water going off the rail. then she is also looking straight at the crane over ala moana shopping center just like she’s supposed to. this is perfect surfing!

then her kids are getting better and better too. here is Dustin on one of his many good ones. he ended up riding a 9’3 by the end of the session.

and Liam getting stronger and stronger. many good ones too today.

it is Nanami-san and family surfing day 2. day 3 and 4 coming up after the world cup! see you guys this weekend!
