i took some photos the other day when the waves were glassy, beautiful, and sunny. check it out.

SUP all alone.

nice right longboarder.

good job on putting the board on the rail.

SUP bottom turn. i can’t do it. but she can.
last, look what happens when you try to steal a motorcycle with a gun in brazil. the guy riding the motorcycle is just riding like normal, then a guy on the back of another motorcycle came up and sticks a gun at the guy demanding his motorcycle. then a policeman was across the street in his car and saw what was happening. then watch to see what happened. and they are going to have the 2014 world cup in brazil? scary!

Have a wonderful day!

i had such a wonderful full day surfing with Hashiguchi-san. a very interesting guy. born in brazil and raised in japan. cool mix! anyway, we surfed for 6 hours!!!! omg, my face is so burnt that it might fall off tonight. i was super happy to see him getting better wave by wave. Hashiguchi-san never did a cutback in his life but after practicing today, he was cutbacking all over the place. morning was crowded so we surfed in the middle and stayed away from everybody. then this afternoon, bowls was empty!! the waves were head high and super fun! Hashiguchi-san was going right, i was going left. after we came in late this evening, we both agreed that we were two totally satisfied surfers! MANZOUKU!!!

and hungry surfers need lots of food so we went to eat at my favorite mexican restaurant in the world. enchilada plate with green spicy sauce, rice, and beans. so full but so happy! oh, get this story. Hashiguchi-san came to hawaii yesterday. he was in the elevator going up to his room and the whole waikiki had a power outage. all of a sudden it stopped and it was pitch black! he was in there for 10min and nobody came, no lights came on, and all alone. so he pried open the elevator door, it was stuck between floors, he climbed out, went down 10 floors of stairs, then went back up 24 floors back to his room. i’m sure he won’t forget that experience. haha.

i’m proud to say that Waikiki Beach came out #1 for the best beach in the united states of america. where else is more beautiful than this????
