Surf, Boat, Poke

woke up early, paddled out to bowls at sunrise with Nanami-san, caught some perfect waves, had fun, then jumped into the truck.

this is a photo of this same boat in the molokai channel. crazy! can you imagine me driving this? i would hate to be my passenger. hold on or i might lose you! haha. so yeah, i know more about boats than most of the people that even own boats. my investigation to a dream boat continues!

i don’t like to fly in small airplanes because if you crash, you die. luckily these 10 passengers in Mokulele Air landed safely on the streets of maui. omg, i just rode one of these!

and glad you got to eat the poke bowl from ruger market!
left my house at 6:20am. got home at 7pm. another long day keeping busy. tomorrow same thing. surf in the morning, and test ride boats in the afternoon. then maybe take my little baby boat out for a ride into the sunset? anything and everything is possible when you live in hawaii!

Test drive time now!


Dream boat!

been talking to people in the yachting and boat scene. and the more information i get, the more i want to sail around the world. a lot of people do it here from hawaii and for some reason, they all look happy. i want to know what that happiness is!

the more i got to third world countries, the more i understand how simple the kids lives are. no iphones, no ipads, no computers, and no technology. they just play with themselves how we use to do 20 years ago. so healthy and so pure. i blame Apple for making this world so complicated! i just hope the philippines stays like this but i know i’m just kidding myself.

last, this is the 2nd surf trunks that has a hole in the exact same place. right in the middle of my butt! i was wearing this one too for a while with a big hole in the back. a few years ago, my friend told me that patagonia gives lifetime warranty on all their products. i have the 2 shorts with holes in my car and i’m taking it back to patagonia today. we shall see how they honor their warranty. i won’t lie and will give you a full report on what happens. stay tuned!
