Fishing, Diving, and Surfing

IMG_2087
i just had to take a photo of my new Penn reel. i can’t believe these things cost around $1,000 with the line. luckily i didn’t have to pay for it but it’s still something i don’t want to lose. and now you know why i was so pissed the other day. haha.

and it’s here! the long awaited video of Wendell Ko spearing this monster marlin. 508lbs. and all caught on HD video by Kyle Nakamoto. april 1st it airs on OCN16 and i just hope you don’t miss this. timing is important in spearfishing and filming and Wendell’s timing and Kyle’s timing couldn’t have been any better. once this Hawaii Skin Diver TV airs, it will make world headline news. congratulations to two cool people! awesome job!

days like this are better to ride a longboard for long rides. this day had 3 surfers in the water when i passed by. if this were japan, there would be 300 surfers out for sure.
north shore still good, south shore swell coming this week. still full flights to japan and i’m wondering how i’m going to get there. like i said, if there’s a will, there’s a way. but as long as i’m in the airplane, i’m all relaxed and good to go. and if i have to paddle there, i will. see you soon!

Little Birthday Boy and Top 2%!

no, this is not a surf shop in hawaii. no surf shop has this many surfboards. this is the Moniz Family quiver. i stopped by for a birthday party and had a great time catching up with the kids. they have big plans this summer but first, they are heading to Ecuador for the world junior champions. will there be yet another Moniz World Champion? we shall wait and see. i wonder what board they will take?
