Diamond Head getting better.
Head high and only 5 surfers.
Super sunny and light wind!

after 2 years of operations, air asia is shutting down it’s japan flights. say bye bye to the $30 tickets from narita to okinawa!

after mexico, i was thinking of going to costa rica for a few days. but the flights were filling up and i didn’t want to take any chances. luckily i got on this full flight on standby back to hawaii. the seat was small, but i wasn’t complaining. if i missed this flight, i would probably still be in atlanta right now. they cancelled 36 flights yesterday because of the storm in hawaii. whew! that was a close call. unfortunately for my sister and the 2 boys, they are stranded in LA till wednesday.

cool to see Matsu and Toda-san hanging out in japan together. i miss these guys.

a dolphin was in trouble near the shore on a beach in china. these chinese guys picked up the dolphin to take photos for their facebook page. right after this, the dolphin died. stupid!

want to congratulate my friend Kekoa for spearing this ono last week. 42 pounds of sashimi! good seeing you today buddy!
