after a long morning of surfing and free diving, we were super hungry. Yumi-san requested Yama’s! omg, what a great idea! i ordered the #7 laulau/kalua pig/lomi lomi salmon plate with poi. so good!

Yumi-san ordered the laulau/lomi lomi salmon/rice with poi plate. and also pumpkin cream pie. good surfing, good free diving, and good yoga today Yumi-san. see you on friday! namaste!

and thank you Yumi-san for the yummy somen!

ate a heavy lunch, then surfed again, then ate a heavy dinner. gosh, if i didn’t surf as much as i did, i’d be a fat man.

also got my patagonia package back. opened it up and…

wow! they fixed my 2 surf trunks for free! free fix and free shipping! great company!
had 2 great surf sessions and a free dive session, and yoga. it felt like summer again with warm water and warm weather. big north/west swell coming on saturday and also light winds. enjoy the endless summer!

Chanko Nabe!

i took my grand-nephew out for some desert. 5 years old is probably the cutest age for kids. so pure, so innocent, and so funny! i wish kids can stay this pure forever.

i go spear a kumu, bring it home and get it ready for the best steamed chinese meal on the island. probably my most favorite dish ever.

thank you Kiyotou-san for the gift from Kochi! it will go good over my rice and natto.

and look what i ate for dinner last night. power pasta meal!

Kekoa and Brent are in denver to snowboard and enjoy the cold weather. Brent’s been sending me photos of their journey. here is master diver Kekoa.

after Brent sent me this photo, i replied “why wasn’t i invited?” haha.
