omg! the waves were so good today. perfect and empty. i couldn’t believe how uncrowded it was this morning. just a few japanese and us. score! i took Aihara-san surfing all day. after his 3rd wave, he paddled back out and told me he just rode the best wave of his life. his smile was BIG! i told him “we’ve only just begun.” he caught so many good waves and really long ones. then we went to eat oxtail soup, shopping, surfing again, shopping, and shave ice.

after we scored in the morning, we scored even more in the afternoon. we paddled back out and it was even more emptier. and the waves got bigger and cleaner. wave after wave we were just laughing. it was like a dream.

after the 2nd session, Aihara-san told me he caught 3 years worth of waves today. this is what surfing is all about. it just gets better and better. thank you Aihara-san for the wonderful day of surfing, eating, and shopping!

did you notice the new coca cola cans in hawaii?

there is a surfer going over the falls!!!! who the heck designed this? they should have put the surfer in the barrel!!!! OMG, big miss coke! but i’ll drink you anyway. haha.
sunburnt, tired, but a happy man. hope you all had a great day.

went for a dive yesterday and like always, it felt so good to be underwater. we went way outside waikiki in the blue water for a dive. it’s about 100′ (30 meters) deep to the bottom with 2 shipwrecks on the bottom. the submarine tours go out there and circle the 2 ships. my friend Mike and i use to always free dive down when the submarine passes by and make the shaka sign to the tourists looking out through the window. we use to laugh as they use to freak out. so yesterday, i did the same thing, except i had a video camera. imagine going on a submarine tour a 100′ deep and seeing a guy swimming around waving the shaka with one hand, and holding a camera, speargun, and dead fish in the other hand. haha.

Hayato, Toda-san, and Yaman-san. we had a fun day in the ocean. speared some fish, seen some turtles, a shark, and took some cool video.

the beautiful diamond head.

the beautiful Toda-san.

then i went to the Moniz house to celebrate my other niece Temari’s baby coming soon party.

this is my beautiful niece Temari. i can’t believe how much she’s grown up, and i can’t believe she’s having a baby in 2 months!

steak and bbq again? omg, i’m getting fat!

and the talk of the town is Josh’s big win. check out younger brother Seth Moniz carrying him on the left. there will be a day when Josh will be carrying Seth. i guarantee that! i’m such a proud and happy uncle!
